Salmon Tube Flies: A Versatile Choice for the Discerning Angler

We are proud to offer a comprehensive selection of salmon tube flies. These innovative flies are a must-have for any angler seeking an edge when targeting these magnificent fish.

What are Salmon Tube Flies?

Unlike traditional salmon flies tied directly to a hook shank, tube flies feature a hollow plastic or metal tube. The fly is dressed on the tube, and a separate hook is then attached to the trailing end. This unique design offers a number of advantages:

• Versatility: A single tube can be dressed with various flies and hooks to adapt to different water conditions and fishing regulations. You can quickly swap out hooks for different sizes or styles, allowing you to tailor your presentation to the specific needs of the day.
• Durability: The tube protects the fly body from snags and damage, making them ideal for fishing fast-flowing rivers and rough terrain.
• Catch and Release: When a fish is hooked, the tube slides up the line, allowing for easier release with minimal harm to the fish.
• Weighting Options: Tubes can be made from various materials, including plastic, copper, aluminium, or brass, allowing you to select the appropriate weight to get your fly down to the desired depth. Tungsten tubes are a popular choice for fast currents or deep-holding fish.
