In this video Barrett demonstrates how to tie a simple tube fly pattern. We have found this black and blue color combination works well for both Summer and Winter Steelhead. Mix it up with your own patterns, purple/pink, orange/red, black/chartreuse, add some flash, you get the idea. Tube flies are gaining momentum in our area and we will be tying more for the blog soon.–CD
