In this video, Jay ties us a Trout Tube Streamer using Pine Squirrel and a Sommerlatte’s Foxy Brush. This is a fun fly that is easy to cast and won’t hold a lot of water. But it will also get down to the right depth because of the drop weight. This fly works great in running water and although Jay hasn’t tried yet he thinks this might fish well in still water as well.

Similar to the Slumpbuster. The tube and trailing hook solve a problem seen in the Slumpbuster where fish hit the tail but not the hook. Definitely worth a try. Maybe use a 5 foot sink tip to keep the fly down
