Hey,
I think you are going to find out that much of tying is personal
preference and quirks. My tiny peice of advice is to get good tools and
a good vice. Tying is expensive and cheap. The start up expense is
fairly large, but the stuff lasts a lifetime. If you try to go too
cheap, you'll wind up with alot of stuff you don't use much if at all.
I have a Peak vice with pedestal. I believe a clamp is available for
it. I like the pedestal cause my "bench" is an old typwriter table and
the edge doesn't let you clamp very well. There you go a quirk. I tie
mostly very small flys and thus haven't had any problem with the thing
moving around. I like my rotary feature, but could get along without
it. You also should consider the look of the vice and how much respect
you will or will not get when you go to club ties or classes. Fly tying
is addictive and very relaxing. I especially like trying new materials
and variations on patterns. Have fun, Frogge.
