First Attempts

 

It was suggested by a respected friend that mid-winter, I should attempt to add realism into my steelhead arsenal

 

I think these need work but will fish

 

And because I couldn't help myself with these colors

Great tubes... Jens and Tompe will propably point you the right way... I think Frödin made a DVD about tying temple dog/ scandinavian style tube flies?

 

One point that I can tell you is to put the cone on after you have build up the fly...

 

keep posting more tubes...

Hello Shaq,

 

Here is a Temple dog with cheeks.

 

A tip in securing the wing & covering the bindings is; prior to tying in the hair, start the hackling behind the tie-in point of each of the hair wing sections, then reverse-tie in the wing. Next, pull back the wing & bind it down, then bring the hackle forward and wrap it in front of the wing section. Continue this procedure with each of the successive wing sections.

 

Hope that helps.
