Small Tube Bombers & Monster Tube Caddis for 2010

When fishing through the summer in Norway I normally run tube-dries in sizes equivalent to flies tied on size 1/0 - 6 singles - but I also carry a whole rang of tiny flies I use for finicky fish, some as small as a pea. This year I spend 4 weeks in Northern Norway with extreme heat and water temperature reaching 22 degrees Celsius (71,6 degrees Fahrenheit) and the small pea flies where in use most of the time - I would normally resort to little Bombers tied on regular Wilson single hooks size. 8 - 12. But this year I made a group of tiny Tube Bombers an Tube-Caddis on some extreme thin plastic tubing I got from Japan. The results was first class - I had expected little differents in the way that the flies would work in the surface - But the tube versions acted somewhat different - and enough so to draw some fish in very difficult circumstances.

Look out for the micro dry tubes that where going to put in our shop for season 2010 

See you by the river
