Not sure if I’m the Matthew that gave you the idea for this video, but here I am a year later, jacked up about Kokanee fishing again, and watching more of your videos. :-). Over the past couple years I’ve started tying some tube flies, and I don’t think I will be going back to normal flies for trolling. Well done on the videos. They are always very entertaining and I love when you show your fly tying materials and fly tying concepts.
I made a fly after watching one of your older videos a caught a nice big Kokanee at Berryessa down here in California. I made a video of the catch on my channel. It is so satisfying to catch a fish on a handmade lure. Thank you for sharing. I love your videos keep it up.
I started tying rasticles a couple years ago. I have bought some tube flies. Never occurred to me to tie my own. Just found your channel. Love it. Thanks
Thank you for the great video, this is exactly what I needed. I’m just getting started in this Kokenee fission wanting to do my own rigs, not wanting to always buy them.Great video. I’m working on getting set up to try different things.Thanks for your help.
Thanks for your videos! If you have Q-Tip with the plastic shift, they can be used for the tubes on tubeflies.. I used very little superglue for the base then put the thead on. Just a thought, thank you again
I tie salmon jigs so I had enough stuff to try a few tube jigs. Generic q tips with the plastic handles are perfect size for the tube. Haven't caught anything on them yet but I'm sure come April it will.
Just found your channel and subscribed! Now I've got something to use my ole fly vise on! I'm new to the Kokanee realm so learning a lot and getting excited about it! Thnx much!!!
Awesome video on how to make your own flys pretty cool. I had a friend make me three tube flys for coho fishing the sound god do they work I wish I could take a picture of them and send it to you so you could make me a few more of them I would pay but all my fishing stuff is packed up for storage going through a divorce so no fishing yet probably will sell my boat and everything else but hop not so I can you the picture of the flys. Thanks for the great work and video
Here’s a thought for another video that I have not been able to find yet. I’ve always wanted to get out in the early to mid spring on my local lake with my boat, and my fly rod and target rising Kokanee, with just a fly rod and a tube fly, stripping it across the surface. I’m sure it can be done, I just got to give it a try. If you beat me to it, post the video!

Can you make a tube fly like that and do a video.
Love your videos
Thanks Matt
thanks for the video
You got it.Thanks for watching Will
Mid winter in PNW time to tie flies and work on gear
where did you get those spinner blades? thanks!
Find a whip finisher tool at the fly shop next time. It will make the head knot easier. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Brian. I will do that.
How have i not thought about a fucking vise-grips? I paid $100 for a crappy fly tying vise.
what do you use for tubes. I'm unable to find tubes here in British Columbia. Great video.
Mostly pro tubes. Lately I have been trying tubes from Hagen. Size Sm. Thanks for watching
Freds Tackle in Abbotsford and Chilliwack have lots of tubes from Aquaflies.If your still looking.
How long is your leader I mean from Swivel to the last hook
