The Canadian Tube Fly Company
Juri has been, and continues to be an
inspiration behind many of our patterns and
products. For those not familiar with Juri's
work, he revolutionized the industry with his
Long Range, Skittle, Weight Forward, Summer
Arrow, and Pipette tube designs. He took the
"basic" bottle tube and was the first to
address the issue of hook hang down. Juri
was the first to design slotted metal tubes that
actually served as the body of the fly, the
actual pattern is tied on the inside liner tube.
Juri was an accomplished professional in the
fly tying world.
