Torqued, you hit the nail right on the head! I started tying same time I started reloading. Right after I retired, never would take the time before! I fly-fishing all my life, but mostly river smallies, bluegills and largemouth. Now, I absolutely love trout fishing. To get started, I cut 2 pieces of 4"×4× wood about 10", doweled one on top the other. Drilled the top one so I could slide a long set of surgical locking forceps back into it. Lock the hook into them slide it into the block, and anchor it with a way I fixed. I keep thinking I'm gonna get me a rotary vise, but mine works just fine! My fly tying board i made i can just pic it up move out the way. Then same table becomes my reloading table. I use the Lee portable hand press. Pull it out go to work. Switch back to fly tying in just a minute.
