Does the tube fly have to be difficult to tie, definitely not! Just on the example of the popular Sunray Shadow tube fly you will see that you need only a few materials and a salmon killer is ready.
The original Sunray Shadow was invented in Norway and comes in many varieties, but the combination of white and black hair is the basis.
Black hair has to be long, I use the Snowrunner from FutureFly, but you can use very popular goat hair.
A small note: use fast glue to strengthen the hair, and the whole fly will be much stronger.
Materials for Sunray Shadow tube fly:
Tube: clear 3mm tube with silver glitter XT30-25 (the tubes are slightly flexible and do not require silicone fittings ) – all quality tube you will find here
Body: UTC Mirage Tinsel in Opal color
Wing: white bucktail, black FutureFly Snowrunner, two peacock herl and two pearl flashabou
Bead: FMFly UV Neon Threads in orange
