Tube fly boxes are expensive, so I've found a cheaper alternative. I
use plastic boxes I found in the rifle cartridge section in gun shops.
They are boxes with 20 openings for holding large caliber shells, with a
lid that slides over the whole thing. Works well for those few tube
flies I've
Maybe we can hire our grandkids to do it.

Mike,
I also have hundreds of sketches and drawings of fly designs, also
step-by-steps in a huge binder that I have to scan and file. Not even looking
forward to that chore.

I do similar to Don. I have on-line links bookmarked. In addition,
patterns that I plan to tie I create a Word document. I break this down in
the file structure much as Don describes but not quite so fine because he
ties thousands of patterns and I tie a few. For me this is an advantage

Wayne, It depends on what format you are going to store your files in.
Using the Explore program, create folders and sub-folders based on catagories
that you define.
Each sub-folder is files in that catagory. And under those are sub-files for
that catagory and so on. I have files as far as 6 s

Hi All;
I recently acquired a Pansonic toughbook CF-18 computer and plan on using it
for hobby stuff, primarily fly tying/fishing.
Anyone store patterns on their computer? If so, how do you do it and what
software do you use?
One idea I have is creating a pattern book for events I visit, such
Hi All;
Very informative, the light bulb is turned on now!
I've always wanted to fly fish for chopper bluefish, a tube fly sounds perfect
for them.

You can have a hundred tube flies and only one hook. Seems like the hook is the
most expensive part of a fly.
If you fish with one and put it back in your fly box, you dont have to worry
about it rusting.
You can make several tubes and add different looks to each fly, by adding to

I believe that I have both of the books you are talking about.
I have also been in touch with Tommy Ollinsson in Denmark and he gave me
several sites.
I have since bought the tube holder for my vise and have started tying some for
largemouth bass.

For any type of fishing, a drawback of long-shanked hooks is the 'crow-bar'
effect. The pull against the eye of the hook is transferred to the bend with
the shank acting as a lever against the fish's jaw. This can do a lot of
damage to the fish if hooked solidly (wallow out a hole), or bend th
Many tube diameters can hold the hook by itself. I also glue a larger
diameter tube over the smaller tube the fly is tied on for large hooks. This
is actually preferable as the rubber tubing doesn't hold the hook well for
hooking (IMHO). The reason many people in Europe use treble hooks is that

I know that a lot of people like to use single hooks for their tubes, I
notice that Partridge market them.
I also remember Deb, who used to be on the list, saying that she liked to
use tubes for Bluefish tied on plastic tubes because when the fish takes the

In Atlantic Salmon fishing, tube flies allow the use of a small treble hook
or double hook - much used over there. Here in the Pacific NW, tube flies
are a great way to build a long fly with little weight and to put a small
hook at the back. For my dries, tubes allow me to build large flies without

Hi Wayne,
In the case of Atlantic Salmon flies I expect its to get some weight into
the fly via the metal tube to get the fly done to the bottom in cold water.
Others, tied in certain ways, allow the 'fly' to be fished in a different
way to conventional flies such as half-hitched where one end of
Hi All;
I still don't see the advantages to tying a tube fly versus a conventional fly,
can someone point out why you would want to tie a tube fly?

I was fishing form the shore Sunday. Truck trouble so no canoe. Meet a

Let him bring in a few fish on a fly rod.

There doesn't seem to be that many sites dedicated to tubes flies when I

I think there are one or two books but its a case of picking up a bit from
several sources.
