Hi Michael, as a beginner I am struggling trying to decide on the correct hook size for your tube flies. I had much help from Nordic Anglers (I prefer Ahrex HR440 tube fly doubles instead of treble hooks). So based on the sizes mentioned on your packages, we agreed on 1,5cm + size 12, 3cm + size 10, 6cm = size 8. Now I ordered TTT 9cm so I was wondering whether doubles tube fly hooks size 6 or size 4 are required? Maybe you could add a little scheme on your website to help people out when they order your tube flies? I’m super stoked to fish your flies! Thanks for your feedback
Hi Dirk. Yes a good advise, the problemis that between makers size differ so much! If a 10 was a 10 it would be easy! Since TTT dont need to be balanced i think you can go with the size you think hook best for You!
Very nice looking fly ! Last week I placed an order on your web, but I could not find those long hairs. Where do you get those long fur fibers?? Thanks
These are really nice flies, but... the only concern i have is getting the furs to tie the wings... My local Frodin supplier has all the FITS gear and i've spent a few pounds i can tell you, but sell only blue fox which isn't long enough for the big fly wings.. I also bought the book for the patterns, but it does not tell you what furs are required, whether its arctic runner, fox, temple dog, goat etc etc.. i've bought one of the feather packs to try and work out what is required.. i fully understand that Mikael wants to sell his tying packs, but for experimenting i would like to buy the furs for my own patterns..
Hi, i use different hair, tempeldog, fox and straight hair like goat for Samuraies... try to buy from Nordisk fluefiske in Norway, Wittlock in Sweden, today quite men have the right stuff. I would go for a call and not only order over Internet. Tell them what you need and for what flies. //M
Hello from Ontario Canada. Just found your RUclips channel and enjoy it very much.l would like to try tieing your flies but there is some vital proportion information that is missing from your videos. Like the length of the medium tube. The type of hair you use. Is it Fox tail Icelandic sheep templedog or craft fur. How long is the tapered cut on the medium tube. Anything else that would prove important. Is there a supplier in Ontario where I can purchase your tying products. Thank-you Tight lines
Hi, sorry but when doing this many films i dont want to say the same in every film. Try to get the hook in the center or slightly behind. medium like half the finished fly. I us e any hair of goood quality mostly fox and tempeldog.. The cut is 2-3 mm I think best you buy from us here:www.frodinflies.com/collections/fits we ship worldwide Cheers!

Hi long hair can be tricky but check your local dealer or search the net... I dont know where you are located.
