Playing With Colors

From time to time, I love to tie tube flies. Here, you can be very creative and play with colors. This tube got four wings (red, yellow, blue and black) and is weighted in the body. It’s not a show fly, it’s a real fishing fly. The head is made with Bug Bond. IMG_4992-1 (Large)

 

SAMURAI TUBES

I was asked to tie some Samurai Salmon Tubes. This tube fly pattern was created by the famous salmon fly fisherman Mikael Frödin from Sweden.

It’s his version of a Sunray Shadow. It’s not a complicated fly to tie, but a fly, where you can see the fishing potential from the first sight.

Three green variations and three black with a bit of purple and magenta flash.

Tube Fly Tying

My cam was lying next to me on my tying table and I made some quick pictures during tying. Just for fun. This is not really a step by step tutorial…

 

Quick flash tube

A quick flash tube using different colors of flash, bucktail, two grizzly hackles, Senyos laser dub and two eyes. Very simple, but it moves awesome in the water.

Another Tube Out Of The Vise

I was in the mood to tie a tube fly this morning. My friend, the famous dutch fly tyer André Miegies gave me a tube fly at the „Gronauer Lachstage“ this year in may. I loved the color combination  he uses and I had to try it myself. Here is the result. I got a good feeling, when I look at it…. ;-)

Thanks again André!
