David, thanks for sharing the great photos of your tube flies. The first photo is awesome. Would you please post your materials list and brief tying instructions for this fly? I fish a lot of tube flies and would like to add this one to my box.
Best regards, Steve

iagree
I'm also thinking I could replace that aqua with a coral and you'd have a nice squid pattern. Well, OK, maybe a few other slight mods, but I like that pattern...

David, thanks for the materials list and instructions. I have all of the ingredients. Now all I need to do is get through the year-end business crush to free up some creative time at the vice. I loved the additional flies that you posted today. I have a similar tube problem. I have a buddy that is continuing to develop a very cool sequin tube clouser. It has been very effective on some of our local salt water species.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful creations.

Best regards, Steve
