Santa was good to me on Christmas. My wife got me a Regal Vise and a good selection of tools.

My daughters got me some new Fly Fishing books for my library.

I am starting a beginers fly tying class on Tuesday 1/15/2008 with MVFF our local fly fishing club.

With the nice weather we beeen having lately, I even had a chance to get out and fish a little. Who would of thought fishing in Ohio in January?

With the new books to read, and learning to tie flys, I am sure winter will go quickly, and spring will be back soon.

I do not usual make new year resolutions, but this year I am going to make and devote more time to fly fishing.

I hope every one had a good holiday, and a great year coming up.

I just joined our local fly fishing class and signed up for there begining fly tying classes. As part of taking this class i am researching which vise I would like to use or buy.

I currently own a Griffin 2A, and I am looking at a HMH Spartain. I would welcome any comments on these two vises or any other recomendations you may want to make.

I have visited one open tie night with the club, and realy enjoyed it. I'm sure this will be somthing I will do for a long time, so I do not mind investing in qaulity tools up front.

 Thanks

Todd

Hi all,

I am new to Fly Fishing and using a Blog. I have taken casting lessons, and caught my first fish on a dry fly last spring. I live in Ohio, and fish for Brown Trout in the Mad River. I have joined Trout Unlimited and I am very eager to learn all I can.
The two things I realy want to get into, is tying my own flies, and I would like to learn to Fly Fish for small mouth bass in local rivers.
4 or 5 years ago I started to Fly Fish and even joined our local club. I had some health issues and had to quit the club and fishing.
I am now healthier than ever and I am excited to fish as much as I can.
Being a complete beginner, I welcome any suggestions or comments you may have.

Thank You
Todd
