    Here’s a few 10″ Flashy Profile Flies I am tying for a good client hell bent on catching billfish…

    Tied to represent the colours of successful Pakula Lures, some of these flies feature glow in the dark materials.

    The FPF flies are a Bill & Kate Howe / Dean Butler pattern that is very popular in Australian offshore fly fishing.

    Hey Chris, I’ve been looking for video instructions for tying those type flies. Do you know of anything.

    I found some great looking flatwing patterns but would like to have a deeper profile.

    Thanks Adam, I hadn’t even noticed those were tube flies.

    You can tie them on single or double hooks or as tubes. They mostly get used as tubes for billfish.

    They can be huge flies.
