tied without a vise
       
   
       
If you wish to tie Classic Atlantic Salmon patterns the way I do, I have provided some instruction. Tying without a vise produces many new challenges for the dresser.
The drawings I have included should help you develop the skills necessary.
I tie without a vise because I think that when you’ve mastered the techniques, it is actually simpler. I use a grip that is called the ‘Stop and Catch’.

The instructions will take you from the beginning steps of applying a thread base through more complex steps of creating a tag, to hackling, to building a complete floss body or a silver body, how to sett the wing and finally finish the salmon fly Click below.
