Neville I have used Eppedorf lab tubes. I found that they burn too quickly for my taste but I did have some fun with them. I don't know where you can buy them. I had a generous friend that works in a lab send them to me when I first started tying some of Yuri's patterns. I found that they fit into one another nicely for tying sectional tube flies. Iain has used them also with bead heads. They have a very small tapered tip. Regards, Deb

Have you used the Eppendorf plastic lab tippet for tube flies? If so, do you know where a person might obtain a small quantity?

He always seemed like he pushed it to the edge. I will truly miss him, he was far too young. I feel so bad for his family. Other sad news to keep this fly tying related . We also lost Jurij Yuri Shumakov on August 20th. He died of a heart attack while fishing the Kola. He was my inspiration for the tube flies I like to tie in the shows. The tubes I used in my tube fly swap were Yuris. He was very helpful when I first started tying them. He was a very generous guy with sharing his knowledge and an extremely talented fly tier. I was very sad to hear of his passing. Regards, Deb www.uftri.org www.linesend.com
