Hi Martin do you add a hook guide to the back of the tube or do you just slide a hook in the back of tube?

[@FlickingFeathers]

On these you can put a soft hook tube on the back to keep it in line, but a lot of people nowadays are using loop knots and pulling the knot into the tube so that the hook is free

[@dmitrijsstupins9624]

Hello, nice video. Could you please tell how long should be the tube ?

[@FlickingFeathers]

It depends on how how long you want the wing to be. Make the tube around 40% of the total length

Hey nice tie Martyn .... I have just recently seen these flies and was wondering how they ride in the water ? and how you fish them ? ok have a good weekend Im over in San Diego , Ca. at the beach chasing the Corbina this summer as usual .....Cheers !

[@FlickingFeathers]

ski bum they have a nice sinuous swim, and can be fished quite quickly to show the fish the side of the fly as it swings. Thanks for watching.

[@Sirskibumsalot]

[@jeanlasalle6636]

Great fly but can you tie more saltwater flies

[@FlickingFeathers]

Thanks for watching, It's only about 2 weeks since I put a saltwater fly video up, and I'll do more when I get a chance. If you'd like to make specific pattern requests, consider supporting the channel at www.patreon.com/flickingfeathers
