letumgo 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2009 Beautiful tube fly, Frank. I have a couple of the BEP feathers left, so I'll have to give this a try. I'm curious about your hook point-up orientation. When I've fished plastic tubes, I found that the weight of the hook point tends to rotate the fly and ride point down. Does the materials placement cause this pattern to ride hook-point up?

I'll check the next time i'm out for stockies!! Thanks for the heads up!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
