ABSTRACT:
A clamping apparatus for use in tying fishing flies is disclosed that includes a vise with parallel first and second extended portions with aligned holes, and a trigger pin disposed through holes that has a circular and flat first end adjacent to the first extended portion and a threaded second end adjacent to the second extended portion with a knob screwed on the end. The clamping apparatus also includes a trigger with a circular portion that has pinhole offset from a center of the circular portion. The pinhole is aligned with a pinhole in the circular portion of the trigger pin, and a pin is disposed through the pinholes. The vise is attached to an arm that is attached to a base. Two legs extend from the base to support the clamping apparatus. Foot joints are located at the ends of the legs and are connected to a flexible member that stabilizes the clamping apparatus. A neck cord is also provided so that the vise may be used in the field at a stream or lake. The flexible member, arm, and foot joints may be adjusted to better wear the clamping apparatus in the field. A method of using the clamping apparatus at home and in the field is also disclosed.
