Can you suggest where to get these tubes? I was in Denmark this summer but Korsholm in Skjern did not have any 16mm. Thanks

It seems to me this fly would be primarily for stillwater or do you find it equally at home on rivers?

I fish my local creeks and streams with a conventional fly rod outfit but often use a spin outfit on lakes. I've tried clear plastic bubbles and they work fine but the best float I've used is the Crystal Cast float. I rig it with a 4 to 5 foot leader and usually a Black Wooly Bugger or Wooly Worm. Very slow stop-start retrieve. Last Friday I went fishing at a local small lake and caught and released around twenty stocked rainbow trout in a couple of hours. I can cast this rig all day but get a little weary casting a fly rod for the same amount of time. Maybe I'm getting old?
Cheers,
Steve.

Jack,

Sure you can use this for a size 10 hook, and the silicone is available in hardware stores and builder's markets and is usually used for sealing in kitchens and bathrooms.

Can you use this technique on a Size 10. And what is the typical store to buy GE Silicone? Thank-you it is a very informative video.

CATE'S TURKEY! Yikes! I LOVED that fly on Davis Lake in Oregon, where it got invented. SO good, SO sparse. A good mayfly nymph, yes, also a good general small nymph for everything else. I loved it for a midge nymph.
Now I live in NZ where it is not known. I haven't used it here. Now why is that??? I'm going to dig them right out and start using them here!!

Thanks for your great review. Never saw it until now. I had one of those days a week ago on the same river, with the same group of guys, the Bighorn in Montana. First day was 4 above when we hit the river.

I like the patterns you tie and the illustrations on how to tie and come up with gorgeous flies.The quality is good and i believe they are durable enough.
