Been getting into using more tube flys recently. I have always liked them but always found it was much easier to just tie on a fly that had a fly already attached, especially in the winter months when the hands were cold, dont have to deal with hooks and threading it on, etc. I been mainly using Owner SSW in size 4 but there are certainly a lot of options for hooks these days. Seems people also prefer a size 2 regardless of the size of the fly. Do you use a specific size hook regardless of fly size, comparing the Silveynator for example to something much larger like a Tube Snake. Would you still use a size 4 for both these flies? Thoughts welcome. Tight lines.
I use both SSW size 2 and 4, I like size 4 when I get below a 30mm shank or if the fly is smaller in size. Over 30mm and I go right to the #2. I
For Intruders and other stinger-type flies, I use the same hook in #1 for the bigger flies, #4 for the summer size flies.
