Hex Mayflies
Hexagenia limbata
The famous nocturnal Hex hatch of the Midwest (and a few other lucky locations) stirs to the surface mythically large brown trout that only touch streamers for the rest of the year.

Found a crack in my Thompson A vise, making it hard to hold the hooks, I was thinking about going with a Dan Vise, I talked to 2 guys that love them, the Dan vise co. has a MSRP of $80.00 but all the dealers want over $100.00 one guy at a fly show wanted $125.00. Maybe I should go to the hardware store and check out there vise-grip pliers. It don't pay to be on SS.

Take a look at Griffin vises. They are all American made and while they are not generally fancy with all kinds of (often) beside-the-point features, they are good sturdy, reliable vises at a reasonable price.
