All time legendary fly fisher Lee Wulff wrote in his book: Lee Wulff on flies 1979, about his early experiments with dry flies and skaters tied on plastic tube. Through the last 13 years I have worked with big dry fly Bomber tied on plastic tube.
I fish rivers in Nothern Norway and use big white Bombers to locate the salmon in broad shallow rivers.
Prior to my design of the Tube-bombers I would use flies tied on: big single Wilson hooks or similar streamer hooks. The flies tied on such relatively heavy iron wouldn't stay long on top. Weight and the sheer impact that they would have hitting the water would soon make the dry-flies - wet-flies. The big high riding tube-dries that I had designed soon proved to be very effective fish-catchers....The feather-light fly with the lifelike silhouette...would have a skittering motion on the surface that was hens any action one could expect from the old-type Bomber.....And a new standard was born.  Visit our website for more information or photos of flies www.fishmadman.com
