First Tube

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).

Green, Yellow & Red Tag

Tail: Orange Dyed Golden Pheasant Tippets
Tag: UNI-Floss
Butt: Black Ostrich
Body: UNI-Mylar #10 Gold/Silver
Wing: White Foxtail, Peacock
Throat: Orange Dyed Golden Pheasant Tippets

A quick and nice pattern tied primarily for salt, but will work just fine in a river targeting trout and grayling. Testing out different tag colors to see how they turn out.
