Trout often prefer underwater aquatic insects because they're more vulnerable than surface stages and are more abundant as well. Fly-fishers know the importance of imitating the specific life stage that trout are feeding on, however most current flies only imitate size, shape, and color of the natural insect. Soft-hackled nymphs also imitate movement and behavior. Tying & Fishing Soft-Hackled Nymphs explains how to imitate sub-surface aquatic insects using both traditional and modern soft-hackled nymphs and flymphs along with the most effective presentation techniques. By exploring effective thread and translucent fur body material combinations, as well as game-bird hackle collars, these flies take on life-like properties. These patterns can be fished throughout the water column from the stream bottom--to imitate immature nymphal forms--to the surface mimicking transitional emergers. Drawing on both traditional and evolved patterns and methods, these wingless wet flies will take you beyond for mulaic fishing techniques to unlimited presentation possibilities and will help you catch more trout.

Review

"Three seconds after being asked to review this excellent new manifesto on tube flies, I thought first I tie flies with feathers and bits and pieces of natural organic animal or whatever! In my mind tubes were a crutch for those who either had no fly tying skills or were simply lazy and wanted a quick way to throw an offering together...... I was wrong, dead wrong. This book will educate and enlighten anyone who thinks they understand Tube Flies and their unique construction!" --Dan Fallon, Rackelhanen - Flyfishing Magazine, June 2007

A great book full of new ideas on Tube flies. 35 Tube fly tyers contributed a paragraph each. Introduces new concepts and materials which is great for someone who is out of the main stream and lives a long way from a tackle shop.
The flies are mostly large and no one seems to tie small tubes which are my favorites. Spade end hooks really work well with tubes and perhaps the next edition will feature them.

A book with allot of everything...but not much of anything..Would have liked it better if they had dedicated a book to ocean fishing on it's own and not kind of stuck it in there willy nilly...Some great patterns to copy but no tying instructions...Kind of book you get, look through, are disappointed and ends up on the pile with the other fly books that don't really cut it..
Thing is, this book could have been allot better if they had dedicated chapters to certain tyers from other countries and their patterns, kept it aimed at salmon, steelhead etc. for which most readers wanted it...and then done a separate book on ocean fishing tubes.
Would rate this book a 6 out of 10

5.0 out of 5 stars Tube Flies Two: Evolution
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2007
It was with great pleasure that the first edition of Tube Flies included some of my work. When Bob Kenly told me that there was a second edition to be published. l gestured that l would like to submit some new tube fly patterns from my own vice.
Time moved on and l never got around to submitting my work, not to worry, the second edition of tube flies more or less covers much of what has now taken place by way of the fly tiers innovation to ward practical fishing flies.

Tube flies should have a very serious consideration from the fly fisher to day. In many ways a single hook does not allow for the profile or the manner in which the fly can be formed around a larger diameter base, which a tube fly body will allow, regardless if you fish it with a single or a treble hook.
More to the point you can produce a very large fly that carries little weight, way easier to cast at long ranges when needed.

Tube flies also allow the fly fisher to present a fly in a very different manner to the traditional single hook approach, for my self tube flies have accounted for very many species, found in cold, warm and saltwater.

Fly tiers are consummate innovators, they look for new ways of introduction of new materials, tying techniques that in most cases are also mixed with those that have been in use for many years. There is not a fly ever tied, that at some time or the other will not catch a fish of a given species.

Tube Flies Evolution sets a new standard, regardless if you enjoy time at the vice, fly fishing or both. I have no doubt that the flies illustrated through the pages may well lead to many more innovations for the future, some of which may be yours.

I highly recommend this first class publication. With a 5 star rating.

A superb book for those who would like to take their tube fly tying to a higher level. Seems to be aimed at the USA market. For the Brits this is no bad thing it shows what can be done to a tube fly and encourages experimentation. Some great things in here. Would I buy the book again having seen it.... you bet
