Getting started with tube these days so I went to my local dealer this weekend and picked up tubes, material and temple dog hair in different colors to start of with some Sunray shadows.
Still learning how to tie these in, some are good, some not that good, but of these ones I liked the white one in terms of composition, the rest of the colors are great though: looking forward to test them out soon!
Wing: Sunburst yellow Foxtail, Orange Foxtail, Red Arctic Fox, Peacock
Neck: black Foxtail underhair
Cone: Eumertube
Another chapter in me doing things I really have no idea on how to do: I bought some foxtail and templedog pieces a little while ago to tie up some tube flies (and for large streamers), and I finally sat down and created my first ones. It took a couple of tries to get a feel for this way of creating flies, but I’m warming up to the idea. I will be testing these in saltwater first to see how they actually behave (have never fished with tube before).
One without the neck:
