FAQs

What size hook should I use with this fly?

Use a single or double hook that is appropriately sized for the fly's 1-inch length. Hook size will also depend on the size of the target fish and local regulations.

Can I use this fly in rivers other than those with Atlantic salmon?

While designed for Atlantic salmon, it can attract other species. Experiment in your local waters to see if it’s effective.

How should I store these flies?

Store the flies in a dry fly box to prevent rust and damage.

What leader and tippet should I use?

Use a leader with a breaking strength appropriate for the size of the salmon you are targeting. The tippet should be of a lighter breaking strength than the leader.

How often should I replace the fly?

Replace the fly when it becomes damaged or the hook is dulled. Also, replace if the fly's effectiveness diminishes.

Troubleshooting

Fly not sinking properly.

Check your leader and tippet for appropriate weight. Ensure the tube is not damaged, which could affect its sink rate. Consider adding weight to your leader if needed.

Fly not attracting fish.

Experiment with different retrieval speeds and depths. Change locations to find more active fish. Consider trying different sizes or patterns of flies based on the conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Rigging: Attach the tube fly to your leader using a suitable connection method such as a loop-to-loop connection.
