| Welcome, Tube flies are exactly what they sound like.... They are tied up on a tube instead of a standard hook shank. Tubes are thicker than a conventional fly, an attribute most steelhead and salmon fishermen find desirable. Hook size and style can be varied for whatever situation you are fishing. Single, double and even treble hooks (regulations permitting) are all possibilities. Since the hooks are not part of the fly there is no chance of the hook rusting before the fly has seen its end. There are also more hook-ups with tubes. With the fly and the hook being separate, when you set that hook the leverage of having a long shanked fly is eliminated. Of course this helps you hold on to more fish after hook-up as well. There has been a recent “awakening” in the fly tying industry to the concept of tubes. Tube flies have been around for some time now, particularly in Europe. It's only recently that they have been successfully fished on the west coast of Alaska, Washington, B.C., and Oregon. Several fly tiers (including ourselves) have been developing both new and traditional fly patterns and putting them on tubes. The only problem is that (to our knowledge) they are not yet readily available in fly shops and very limited choices are available on the net. We have now had several successful years on the Internet selling quality salmon and steelhead flies and other fly fishing related sporting goods. Our original fly shop, ADIPOS FLYTYTING , now offers over 165 different steelhead and salmon fly patterns. Fly tying has become much more than a hobby to us! We have broken our Tube Flies into the following categories.... Juri Shumakov Bottle Tube Flies Spey Steelhead Atlantic Salmon Saltwater Alaskan Tapered Tubes Heron Speys Selections Flex Tubes Wiggle Tubes All of our patterns are available on either plastic, aluminum, copper, or brass tubes in various sizes. Our lightest flies are tied on plastic tubes, many of our customers find these most useful for waking flies or any situation that calls for a low water pattern. Our plastic tubes also have the slimmest profile. The next jump in weight goes to Aluminum tubes. These flies are still extremely easy to cast, though they do sink at a much faster rate than traditional plastic tube flies. Our heaviest selection of steelhead tube flies is the copper and brass variations. The copper is slightly heavier than the brass and they both sink at extremely fast rates. Matching these tube flies up with an ultra fast sink tip will get you to holding salmon and steelhead in almost any water condition. We also offer patterns that use bottle tubes and flies tied on Juri Shumakov tubes. These tube flies are unique in that most of the weight is at the back of the fly, giving a smaller head. Many fly fishermen swear by bottle tubes too for their hooking abilities as well as the fact that you can have an extremely large profile fly on a very small tube. For ease of navigation, all of our pages have two navigation sections. The navigation bar at the top of every page allows you to learn more about our company.
