CapeBSalar 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2008 Hey Jamie, and everybody. Here is a couple pictures of a Green Highlander tube fly I did. This one is for you buddy. I hope you like it. I sent you a PM regarding the rest of what we talked about. There is one aspect of this fly that I'm super thrilled with how it turned out and that's the head. I've attached a close up image of the head itself. Hope you all like my "conversion" of my favorite pattern. Damian. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CapeBSalar 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2008 Oh yeah, thought I should add too, the green spey hackle used to be white burnt goose, I dyed it myself, first time dying. Trying new things lately it's exciting breaking away from what you normally do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Inman 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2008 Very nice work Damian! I really like the conversion and think that there are many other patterns that we tie that could translate quite well to tubes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CapeBSalar 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2008 Thanks for coming over to take a look Jamie. Yes, I totally agree. Jamie Daly has done a great job on an Ackroyd and I'm sure we'll see some others from him too. It's nice to try something new and I'm having alot of fun with these, only 1 problem, now I have to buy a bunch more tube fly stuff, wait now... where's the problem. LOL! Glad you like what I did with this one. Damian. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James Daly 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2008 Damian, Holy!!! That is superb! Great job with the whole thing. It's a shame that a steelhead is going to mess up that ridiculously perfect head. I am kidding!!! That one is getting put up for safe keeping! Great work and thank you!!!!!!!!!!! -Jamie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good work. :thumbup: A fishing advise. When fishing tube flies with a fixed hook turn the hook up side down. That way you wont get snatched half as many times as usually. Also the wing wil not get caught as often. As far as hooking ability it is the same at least I have not noticed any difference. Jens Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
