Rick Kruger 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2008 I'm new to tube tying and haven't fished any yet, but from what I've gleened, I'm sure I'll like them. I will attempt to join future exchanges, once I get into it. I'm curious if there isn't enough interest for a separate forum on tube flies. It is a distinct enough tying form to warrant it, it seems. My intended targeted (first) use will be coho, pinks, sockeye, chum, sea run Dolly's, rainbow and Artic grayling in Alaska next August. Primarily coho for the tube flies, but the bread n butter pattern, Purple Egg Sucking Leech works on all of them. I have tied a few PESLs combining traditional PESL materials with the absolutely deadly plastic egg bead (Trout Beads), which I fully expect and trust will be even more effective than PESLs tied with the traditional pink chenille "egg". I fished the beads on SRD, bows and AG last trip with awesome effectiveness last trip. Rick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Student4evr 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2008 I found my materials and in one of our club tying sessions I figured out hot to tye a tube version of the fly I used to catch the fish on your left. I normally tie it on a Mustad Signature Circle hook. To get everything to sit right I had to add a strip of weight to the bottom of the tube. I will get the other pattern done by the end of the weekend. :thumbup: :kicking: Frank By the way the silver in the picture won me the Silver Salmon derby up in Valdez Alaska when I lived there. I weighed 18.18 pounds and was worth $15K. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
