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

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.

Thanks for the ideas

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.
