Jerry, nice Tube Fly. In addition to what you’ve stated, Tube Flies last much longer than hook flies do because as you said they slide up the tippet away from the teeth of the fish. Secondly once the hook gets dull you can simply put a new sharp hook on and keep fishing. I’ve been tying Tube Flies for a many years and have introduced Tube Flies to anglers in the Catskill Mountains of NYS. I use many different tubes including tubes from Q-Tips. They don’t cost you anything extra because you used them to clean your ears. Just take the cotton off and use the tube. You can see my videos by visiting Richard Katzman Fly Tying on You Tube. Best regards, Richard

Thanks for sharing. I just had a conversation with a tier today who knew nothing about tube flies. I didn't know that they had been in existence for as long as they have in Britain. I love to tie tube flies but I have yet to find a tube fly box for carrying them efficiently. All the best, nice tie, I usually put a body on my tubes though just like I would on a hook shank. Sean

C&F tube fly box with long vertical separate slots on one side and regular tight slits plus 2 small boxes for hooks and regular flies. Tried many systems and this one is the most convenient in my humble opinion.

I just found out about tube flies about a week ago and think it's such a cool fly. I was thinking about starting to tie but the more I look around I notice the tube fly videos are usually five years old and older. Is using tube flies not a thing anymore? I don't want to get into something then the supplies go away, what say you. I trout fish in western NC mountains since I moved here from Cleveland 22 years ago. I have one foot in retirement and want to start tying so thanks for the video.
