j74snook 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2009 I was tying up some tube flies for next season and came across a great one for baitfish....Are tube flies OK for a swap...yes or no? Either way is OK for me, as I know some poeple don't use tube flies. I would love a tube fly. Your choice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont have any and never tied one, how do you fish it. Kevin I assume you mean rigging the hook. Your leader is fed through the tube and tied to a hook behind the tube. When the fish is hooked, teh tube runs free on the line and the hook sets. try doing a search on the web or youtube for "tube fly rigging. They are very effective. here's a good site to show how. really easy. http://www.canadiantubeflies.com/riggingtubeflies.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

j74snook 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 We got the first set of flies from atroutbum2 today and they are a great tie. Thanks for the extras. I'll put them all to good use. I really like the cricket. I am going to the chipola river this weekend for some stump knockers and try to have a fish fry. Thanks j74snook Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

j74snook 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2009 Just received some truley great ties today from easternfly. When wet I bet they are a looker. Just a reminder though ... You need to send a self addressed stamped envelope in with your flies. Eastern fly sent a self addressed but no postage. Don't worry Easternfly I'll take care of it this time. Great tie though so its worth paying for them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eastern fly 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 I was not aware of the problem with the postage. My wife just told me after I read you post. IWe have not had a problem before. She said they didn't know how much to put on it. It is not the first time we have sent flys. Let me know what I owe you. Thanks Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
