Synopsis of Class
In the past ten years or so more and more people in the US have discovered the benefits (and enjoyment) of fishing and tying tube flies.  Not only do they add a tremendous amount of versatility to your fishing but tube flies last longer.  Because the fly slides up the leader as the fish fights it stays out of the way and does not get torn up as easy.

There have been a number of new products to hit the market in the past few years concerning tube flies.  One of the most exciting products to come along for tube flies is from a Finish company called Eumer.  This company has taken tube flies to a whole new level.  not only developing unique coneheads but conetubes as well for tube flies.
