Massive big dryfly on tube! Didn’t get the body perfect, but I need a better scissor to do my trimming. This is going to be a fun fly to test this autumn when the trout is hungry and feeding on mice, and if I get a chance to throw this in a salmon river I’ll definitely test it out.

The other day was small tubes for treble hook, today are some hair-wing for double hook that I tied up the same night. These should work good for salmon, but also (especially the red-tag) on seatrout and browntrout. I like the redtag the best in terms of colors and execution, and should have some of those tied up for the trout season.

I have tied a lot of big hair-winged tube the last two months, but salmon (or trout for that matter) isn’t always interested in the big juicy flies! So today was a tie-up-small-tubes-for-treble-hook day and I got some in different color variations to see how they come together. All flies are done with Arctic Fox and/or temple dog.

With the recent adventure in tube and zonkers I had to end up with this eventually: a white rabbit zonker from Wapsi with different hackle color. The material should flow really nice in the water, but I have no experience with something like this in a river. There will be a lot of testing this summer, that’s for sure!
Tied up some more of the micro zonker tubes that I did the other day. The pattern is great and fairly easy to do, the only thing I changed this time was to add JC to the sides of it.
