I like that fly :smile:
Is that a relatively new pattern?

[Stew]

I think it's a pretty new pattern Russ. I've seen some variation of it and it is similiar to tube flies.
Anyway I am going to tie some up for late fall steelhead on the Deschutes.

Nothing like starting out with a simple one Stew .....

[Stew]

Actually tying a tube fly is pretty easy.

[Steelheader69]

Yup, tubes are pretty easy to tie on. Plus, you can use them on your drift and fly rods. Great all around lure.

Here's one of my tubeflies.

Educate me is a tube fly slid over the leader or tied directly to the hook?

[Stew]

Slid over a leader that has a hook on it. Pretty simple tie or you can get as eloborate as you want.
Thanks for the picture Jerry :cheers:

Stew -- I was referring to pronouncing and remembering the materials.
