After experimenting with Sunray shadows all weekend I ended up freestyling this tube with the material I have available. I really like how this turned out: the orange/green/yellow combination should be a real treat in the water , the only thing I would like to see in addition would be a disc/conehead and maybe a Jungle Cock side
First Tube
Neck: black Foxtail underhair
Cone: Eumertube
Another chapter in me doing things I really have no idea on how to do: I bought some foxtail and templedog pieces a little while ago to tie up some tube flies (and for large streamers), and I finally sat down and created my first ones. It took a couple of tries to get a feel for this way of creating flies, but I’m warming up to the idea. I will be testing these in saltwater first to see how they actually behave (have never fished with tube before).
One without the neck:
