Pop Rivet Salmon Fly: Phatagorva Mini Tube - Salmon Fly Tying

A pop rivet converted to a very popular salmon fly, the Phatagorva or Pahtakorva. This Scandinavian salmon tube fly will give lots of moment with the water protruding over the large rivet head, stimulating the movement given from fishing monster or turbo cones. A set of pop rivets will cost you a few pence per fly where a weighted tube and monster/turbo cone will cost you significantly more money as well as taking longer to tie.

I have used them to make skirts for spinners. When using them as a fly, how do you attach tge hook? How do you attach to the line? Do you slide on the line and then tie on a hook? This could give the fly movement by sliding a bit on the line... interesting idea. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Nathan, thanks for watching and hopefully you are enjoying the channel. The rivet is treated like any other tube for tube fly fishing. The tube has a small section of silicon junction tubing at the end ( that's why the far rear of the tube was left without materials). Then the tippet goes into the tube and through the other end. Next I tie on a hook of choice and pull the tippet back to towards the fly line and the hook will rest in the junction tubing. When a fish takes, usually the junction tubing and hook slip off and the tube can then run up the leader reducing the fly hinging in a fish's mouth. KZfaq doesn't let me put photos into posts but if you see my posh tosh pop rivet thumbnail you can clearly see how some fluorescent yellow junction tubing is attached and holding a hook. Hope that helps?

@@SeánWoodsFishing I see. So it is tippet through fly, tippet through plastic tube, hook. Then the hook is buffered against the the plastic tube. The plastic tube slides up over the bottom of the fly to stay in place when fishing. When a fish grabs it, the fly will pop free sliding on the tippet as the plastic tube has pulled free... Interesting idea. Will have to try it.

One more question. What is the attachment that you put in your vise to hold the rivet?

@@NathanCampbellGuitarist it's a tube fly adapter, they come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Felting needles are a good DIY option. Check out this video which will go through the basics on tube fly tying 👍kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hK-ElLphyNDTZHU.html

hi mate , i like this idea , i have plenty of these in lots of sizes , very cool . can you tell me the type of tube liner you use and what hook style /size should i be using vs the size of the rivet to make them swim well ?

@SeánWoodsFishing 8 ай бұрын

This was an xs eumur liner but if you have rivers with larger inner diameter you can just use regular liner. I use a hook that looks well suited for the tube and balances it well, each size is different

Great looking fly 👍What diameter rivets do you use?

@SeánWoodsFishing Жыл бұрын

Thanks Spiderman 👍 this was a 3mm outside diameter rivet, bought off ebay. Plan to do another wee rivet fly sometime in the next few weeks 🤞

Most of the time following along is ok. But there are sections where I really don't have a clue what you're saying. I am a non native English speaker. I can understand Billy Connolly just fine and also most other accents (Australian, African English, Welsh etc.). An Irish accent is doable but you have to try to ariculate dude. A thick accent and mumbling is a bit much to ask from an international audience. I like the fly though.

Glad you like the fly and thanks for the feedback 👍. All I can do is try, can be hard going tying and talking at the same time. You could use subtitles (albeit not 100% accurate but it may help? Hopefully the point still comes across and find it helpful ?
