We’ve had some cold temperatures here in Central PA, which means it’s a great time to be sitting down at the vice and tying up some patterns for spring. (Don’t get me wrong, winter is one of my favorite times to be on the water, but not when it’s in the teens with a colder wind chill…)
There are a number of educational opportunities coming up this fall at TCO State College! A full list can be viewed on the website here. Two that I wanted to highlight are some fly tying classes happening on September 15 and October 20.

It’s been awhile since we last had a post on here, so it’s about time we get back to one every now and then. This one features a few videos from Scumliner Media (follow the link to check out their Vimeo page).
Hello there, it’s been awhile! Here’s what’s been coming “From the Vice” over the past few months – it’s not been a whole lot because of life happening (and a great new job beginning!).
Last week was a bit heavy on the video end of things, so we’ve tried to balance it out more this week. We have a few articles, the newest issue of S.C.O.F. magazine, and some videos for you to enjoy. Grab your cup of coffee, get comfortable, and dig in!
Bugs are popping, and I hope you have some time to get out on the water this weekend. Until then, you can fish vicariously through these articles and patterns that we have for you. Just pour yourself a coffee!
By the way, it’s International Star Wars day: May the Fourth be with you.
March came in like a lion, and isn’t quite going out like a lamb. Maybe “out like a lion cub” is more appropriate? Anyway, it was a fun month at the vice to be tying up some new and old patterns for the boxes. Read on!
After the long trudge of January, February always seems to move pretty quickly. The deer hair experiments that I had set out to do didn’t quite happen, but I did have some time to sit down at the vice and tie up some experimental patterns as well as necessary ones to fill the box.
