Hi John

Nice tubes all of them. They will surely catch salmon. :thumbsup:

A few comments. You could taper the wings a little more to give them an even better movement in the water and the orange dont be affraid to put in a few extra straws of copper flash in the mittle of the wing.

Finally give them an extra layer of varnish on the head.

Jens...since I'm new to tying tubes and I love your flies...how would you taper the wings more?

hi Verno

here is how you do it.

You build the wings up in sections (4 up to 7).

here is the model for a wing with 5 layers:

section 1

Start with a short rather stiff tuft of Artic fox same lenght as the tube

section 2

then a tuft a little longer of the same hair.

that is the underwing.

If you want flash now it is time to put in the first straws just a little longer than the wing

section 3

for the next layer you use softer hair from the Artic fox a 1/4 longer

Another few straws of flash or angel hair just a little longer than the wing. The straws shall not be of the same lenght but taper as well (you can do that with the siccors)

Section 4

another layer of soft hair a 1/4 longer again

Section 5

last layer same lenght as section 3

The wings are done.

When you put on the section make surwe that they are spread out a little horizontally.

Finish off with a collar hackle and a neat head.

A lot of words hope it makes sence.

Regards

Jens....your instructions make perfect sense....but now I have to ask a dumb question.....I can't belive I'm going to ask this but....do you tie each section on seperately or do you combine all the sections together and then tie all sections in one clump??? The reason I'm asking is I didn't realize that there were so many layers to the wing

It help a lot if wing is tied by small bunches

Even with wing made on one color 5-6 bunches is neceseary.

Shumacow followed with color of fox by color of flash.

It means like on Shonguj yellow fox-yellow flash, orange-orange etc.

The top bunch is the longest but I more and more flowed another idea to tie last bunch shorter

Using very soft body hairs. It gives nice shape of fly. But like always what you like.

Hello Jon Boy

 

Those are some great tubes and they WILL catch salmon, no doubt.

 

It's nice to see more tubes here on the forum, you cant't deny that they are excellent fishing flies.

 

My favourite is the upper left one, reminds me of a Wille Gunn variant that I use.

 

Keep tying them tubes!!

Hi Verno

well Rafal gave you the answer. Let me compliment a bit.

It is very important that you tie small amount of hair in at a time so that you can flare them out a bit horizontally. if not you get a high vertical wing and what you should be going after is a teardrop shaped wing both horizontally and vertically.
