FAQs

What size tube fly should I use?

The size depends on water conditions and personal preference. 0.75in and 1in are the available sizes. Experiment to determine what works best in your specific fishing environment.

What type of leader should I use?

Use a leader that matches your rod weight and the size of the salmon you are targeting. A tapered leader with a tippet appropriate for the conditions is recommended.

How do I know when to replace the fly?

Replace the fly if the hook is damaged or dull, if the brass tube is corroded, or if the fly body is falling apart.

Can I use this fly in other seasons?

While designed for spring salmon fishing, it can be effective in other seasons depending on water conditions and the presence of salmon.

How do I store my flies?

Store your flies in a dry fly box, away from direct sunlight, to prevent corrosion and damage.

What knot should I use to attach the fly?

A loop knot is recommended for better action, but any strong knot suitable for fly fishing can be used.

Troubleshooting

Fly not sinking quickly enough.

Ensure you are using the correct size tube fly for the current conditions. Check your leader and tippet to make sure they are not too light, which can affect the sink rate. Make sure there is no debris on the fly preventing it from sinking.

Fly is snagging on the bottom frequently.

Adjust your retrieve to keep the fly higher in the water column. Try a slower retrieve or change your casting angle to avoid bottom obstructions.

Difficulty hooking fish.

Check your hook point for sharpness. Ensure your leader and tippet are in good condition. Consider varying your retrieve and presentation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Rigging: Attach the tube fly to your leader using a suitable knot. Consider a loop knot for enhanced fly action. Use a leader with sufficient breaking strength to handle the weight and the size of the target fish.
  2. Compatibility: This fly is best used with a fly rod suitable for salmon fishing, typically a 7-9 weight rod, depending on the river conditions. Use a fly reel with adequate backing capacity.
  3. Care: After each fishing trip, rinse the fly with fresh water to remove any salt or debris. Store the flies in a dry fly box to prevent rusting or corrosion of the brass tube. Inspect the hook regularly and replace it if it becomes damaged or dull.
