There is a book out there for tying tube flies. It calls itself a Historical guide but I'm not sure I agree.... Paul just gave you more information than I could find in it. It is a nice basis to build your tube fly skills on though. Tube Flies Mark Mandell & Les Johnson ISBN 1-57188-036-4 Frank Amato Publications, Inc.
