Flies |
Now that you have everything you need to fish with a tube.....how does it all go together? Of course, this is an area where ones own personal preferences come into play. Here are three techniques we use for fishing with a tube...... |
Technique Two: This is the most common way to use a tube fly. |
Technique Three: This is also a great way to fish a tube. The loop allows you to change damaged hooks quickly |
As most fly tiers know, tube flies have exploded in popularity in the past decade, and with that explosion new approaches and techniques to fish them have grown exponentially. Junction tubes (also known as hook sleeves) are an important part of the whole tube fly package. Without a reasonably secure connection between your tube and hook, your overall fly will not cast, flow, or fish the way you intended it. While testing new patterns the last few seasons, I have moved away from the usual way on connecting the tube and the hook. It began when I start using Flex Tube as a junction tube instead of just using it for actual tube patterns. Now available in over 20 colours, both opaque and transparent, Flex Tube adds an extra dimension to your fly. Not only does it work as a fabulous junction tube (because of its flexibility and temperature resistant properties) it also gives that extra splash of either vibrant or subtle colour to your pattern.
