I posted this on the fly fishing board but thought I should post it here as well...

Anyone have any recommondations for where to buy vices and materials for around 10 kids? I am going to be running a fly tying class at the school where I teach and want to make sure each student has their own vice to use. I will also be using the vices in the summer for a fishing camp that I run. The vices do not need to be anything special but need to be able to stand up to 9-11 years old using them. Any help would be appereciated.

Thanks in advance

since when did you start tying flies, rob?

For a little while now, nice way to pass the winter. A lot better than building spot traps...

Thanks for taking the time to work with kids and introduce them to fishing :clapping2::clapping2::clapping2:.

Although a lot of work/headaches - it is well worth it.:yes:

If you're still doing this next fall check with me. I may be able to give you some duck carcasses for feathers.

David thanks for the offer. I will be sure to get in contact with you next fall for some feather for the kids.

Once your students start getting good you can sell the flies they make for some extra cash. I have an extra vice that I don't use if you want it

Jay,

HA! It's like a fly making sweat shop! I think they are going to sell them at an auction we have at our school to raise money for the school. If you have a vice send it on down. PM if you need the address. I really appericate the help Jay.

Are you strictly looking for smallish flies? A small table vice (either mount to a table or a piece of wood) is often cheaper, and certainly more durable than a decent fly vice. You can grab them at Lowes-
Wilton at Lowe's: 4-1/2" Workshop Vise
I use these to make up all my chutes, and dressed hooks, as well as flies... The fly vice just couldnt accomodate the larger hook sizes.
