Hi Great tubes with nice tapered wings. How is Racoon in structure and mobility? like Artic fox? jens

Hi Tompa They flies both look great These new cones are very interesting. I have already ordered them, so I expect them to arive on monday. Concerning new material on the market. Have you ever tried a new wing material sold under the name "Himalayan sheep" ? The hairs are up to 13 cm long. Jens

Hi Rob They are sea trout (sea run brown trout). Jens

Hi Cheech Another great minnow If you ever come to Denmark in April bringing your Stinger and Super minnow you could with no doubt put yourself in this picture. Jens

Hi Temple dog is both. A. it a material (hair coming from a dog) B. A tying style invented by the Swedish fly tyer Haakan Norling back in 1990. Basically it is a tube fly where the upper most layer of the wing is tied on reverse and then folded back over the under wing to make a high profile wing that is very mobile in the water. Jens

Hi Could you post a picture that one can enlarge so that one can actually see the fly? jens

Chrisfish The wing is build up with temple dog hair (you can do almost the same with good quality artic fox) and mixed with angle hair (flash) Jens

Hi John I an glad you mention that you the flybefore my class A few remarks (tying tips). A. Even when you only use one colour in the wing you have to build it up with at least 3 sections to be able to taper it right 1. lenght of the body, 2. 1/3 longer 3. 1/3 longer. B. Be very carefull not finish the fly with a build up head because then you end up with a space between the wing/hackle and the cone. But dont worry a fly that catches fish - works! Jens

Hi Daryn yes now you can almost taste the burgundy Jens

Hi Daryn I think a pic with white background would give better credit to the fly. sent you a PM Jens

Hi Cheech Lovely little fish A sure fish catcher in the spring when the coastal water comes to life after the winter. Regards Jens

Hi all Here is the result of my effort in yesterday's tube fly class. Try this type of tube fly and you will be surpriced when you see the life like mobility in the current. Regards Jens

Hi Daryn Nice buggers! I fancy the third one. It looks like a real killer for sea trout. I know exactly the place where this would work. Could you send me the dressing (pattern)?. I am sorry you missed the class yesterday (I have posted the result of my effort) Regards jens

Hi Thomas Congratulation with the new member of the family, let us hope he is a new salmon fly fisherman. I fully agree with your point about tying flies. The RATs are beautifull. Concerning tube flies my class runs today 10 PM Western Europe time. join if you like Regards Jens

Thanks Dustin I will try and troll him up. Thanks for the helpfull suggestions from everyone else. For some reason I really love tying tube flys. Hi If you are really into tube fly tying why not join my tube fly class saturday 4 PM EST. Look under fly tying classes there is still an empty seat. regards Jens

Hi Do not know where you are from but try this one: www.fishingmegastore.com (Scotland) Regards Jens

Hi Ray Letumgo Great tubes - looks very fishy. They would work over here for seatrouts in the spring. And to you, who quoted this post. There is still vacant seats in the classroom on saturday. Regards Jens

Hi all Ever tied or fished with tube flies? in Scandinavia tube flies are becoming the most used fly type for Atlantic salmon and sea trout. Especially cone head tube flies is in a class of their own. If not then join the tube fly class on 18th November. And you will also have this kind of success! regards Jens

Nice looking tubes. A quite different approach than the one I use for my Atlantic salmon and sea trout tubes. What is the target fish for your flies? jens

Hi There is no stupid questions Temple dog is both a style of tying (invented by Hakan Norling from Sweden 20 years ago) and a type of hair coming from dogs. I have never seen the bread "Temple dog" though. regards jens

] Hi Daryn No, we do not have steelheads runs. We catch an odd one now and again that is all. regards jens [attachmentid=6549

hi Steeli No problem join my tube fly class 18th November regards jens

Jon Boy The hair is Temple Dog mixed with pink angel hair Jens

Redwings There is no connecting tube. Take a look at my updated post on the cone head tube fly class there you can see the answer. The hook is just pressed into the rear of the tube. regards jens

hi guys just to show a conehead tube fly in a steelhead version. regards jens
