Note: The tube fly is displayed threaded on a needle for presentation only. Use with hook of your choice. Background: The needle tube flies shown have been dressed on Grays Needle Tubes, a new range of extremely slim, plastic lined, stainless steel tubes developed and manufactured in Scotland by Grays of Kilsyth. Hooks: Specifically for the Cascade salmon needle tubes shown, I would use either Partridge Salar tube fly treble in size 13 (as on sea trout tubes and needle flies); Fulling Mill ( similar to Loop) tube fly double in size 10 or Sawada XD1 tube fly double in size 10; or Fox Series 2 Carp single. |
