Tube flies for salmon, steelhead, sea trout
and other species

Salmon flies - buy tube flies.

Tube flies have been used in Scottish waters for around 50 years at least and rightfully so because they give the fly fisherman a huge amount of versatility when choosing the fly size, weight and type of hook that is required. Since the hook is not part of the fly, flies outlive rusty hooks many times over and the tube can be used with a single, double or treble hook of any compatible size. Tubes are made from copper, aluminum or plastic tube the metal types are lined with plastic to prevent chaffing the leader. The smallest tubes are quarter inch long, tiny plastic flies that are lighter than conventional flies and have lots of movement in the water. At the other end of the scale tubes can be made several inches in length for pike or salt water fly fishing. The following examples of tubes are typical of those used for Atlantic salmon and sea run trout. Almost any fly pattern can be produced in tube form. Terms and Conditions of Sale
