    I have been seeing and hearing more about tube flies. I just recently browsed through the Summer 2009 issue of Fly Tyer and there was an article about tube dry flies. I know they have mostly been used for salmon & steelhead, but was wondering if anyone uses them for trout or warm water fishing. I like the looks of some of the ones I’ve seen and they definitely look like they would cut down on misses from short strikes. Any thoughts or experiences with tube flies?

    Use them all the time. I have used them for steelhead and even carp.

    Here is a picture of one I tied up for brown trout.(bottom fly)

    Great looking fly Michael. Every time you discuss your tube flies it makes me want to start tying them myself.

    I’m not sure if there would be any advantage to using them on dry flies, but they work well on streamers.
