Dryfly Tubefly--Exists or not?
 

A dryfly tubefly.........

Is there such a thing?
Has anyone seen or read or heard about a reference to
the idea of a dryfly tubefly before?

.........I made the claim I invented it.
Someone else challenged that claim, but
supplied no counter example.

So I'm (more than mildly) curious.
Maybe it's out there and I'm just a dumbass.
But I sure haven't seen it.

What about you?
Who what where how?
Help me out.

Looks like I'm going to have to answer my own posts
from here on out. I looked all over (the web anyway).
There is no such thing as a tubefly dryfly. Except mine.
So I claim it. What the hell.

The difference is that tube flies were first invented to
allow people to use (under fly-only rules) a small
treble to hook salmon. The tube allows tying a larger
fly than would be possible on the shank of the treble
hook. SP's may be the first designed primarily to be
recoverable after hooking a snag, rather than primarily
to catch fish.

No.

I guess it depends on the quality of the responses you're looking for.

Sandy,

I can't find the reference from roff or rofft, but a couple years ago there
were several posts about pike flies, in particular dahlberg divers tied on
tubes. Sure, a diver isn't what you're talking about, but one of the
references in that thread led to regular dries, even fairly small, tied on
tubes.

I wish I could see that picture, but it doesn't show up.



Thank you Chas. I'll look for that.

Hi,
here is a link to a Finnish website:
http://personal.inet.fi/koti/mr.pompero/Kelluputki.htm
"Mr.Pompero" has tied some floating tubeflies, if you care for
translation let me know.
