letumgo 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2008 Outstanding tube fly, Marty! This looks like a killer trout pattern. Would you be able to post a couple pictures of the key tying steps for this fly. I need to give this a try. Welcome aboard! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VERN-O 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2008 Marty......just wondering, wouldn't it have been easier to have just left the foam strips longer over the "eye" and folded them back over as opposed to tying in new pieces of foam at the head?....just curious Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ginseng sullivan 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2008 cool pattern and i'll bet it floats better than on a full hook. Vern i was thinking the same thing but maybe Marty has a reason so we will wait for him. leaving the top piece sticking out the front would likely make a good skater too. thanks Marty and the pics look good too.

I found that it was necessary to cut a wider strip for the bullet head to envelope the mass created by the wing and the compressed foam. If you look close you can see how I place the bullet head foam in front of the tied down ends of the wing to minimize bulk. I guess if you were in a hurry and did not care about a gap in the bullet head, it would be a lot faster. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marty Howard 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2008 Now you have me thinking. Maybe if I cut a taper in the foam to match to two different widths, one could tie the fly with just two strips of foam. Yes this fly floats like there is no tomorrow, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
