Quick take
A magnetic fly-tying trash tray that attaches to standard vises and holds trimmed thread, hackle and dubbing.
A small catch bag on a circular wire frame that clips to the stem of a fly tying vise by magnet. Trimmed thread, hackle stems, dubbing scraps and dropped hooks land in the lined tray instead of on the bench. When you finish a session, pull it off the vise and tip the contents into the bin. It suits vises with a stem under 9mm across.
