FAQs

What hook size should I use?

Hook size depends on the size of the fly and the target fish. Consult your local fly shop or experienced anglers for recommendations.

How do I attach a hook to the tube fly?

Insert the hook into the tube fly and secure it with a hook retention method of your choosing (e.g. glue, heat shrink tubing, etc.)

Can I use this fly in saltwater?

Yes, but be sure to rinse it thoroughly after use to prevent corrosion.

What is the best retrieve method?

Vary your retrieve speed and depth to find what the fish prefer. Experiment with slow, steady retrieves and faster, jerky movements.

How do I store these flies?

Store the flies in a fly box to prevent damage and keep them organized.

What are the available sizes?

The Fulling Mill Sunray Shadow Conehead Tube Fly is available in 1-inch and 1.5-inch sizes.

Troubleshooting

Fly not sinking fast enough.

Ensure you're using the correct leader and tippet weight. Consider using a sinking leader or adding split shot if necessary.

Fly snagging excessively.

Adjust your retrieval technique or switch to a hook with a weed guard. Consider using a different fly if snags are a continuous issue.
