Tube flies for silvers? 18 Years, 1 Month ago  
The kids are back in school, the kids are back in school!

That means I have many of my mornings free from shooting high school senior portraits, soooo, I can check up on the NCFFB more often.

A question came to me as I'm trying to organize my flies a bit.

I've started using tube flies for steelies when I swing (granted, that ain't TOO often but it's on the increase) and I wondered if I should try them on coho in AK next month. I've already got a nice stash of pink, chartreuse and black streamers (tied to the hooks), flash flies, ESL's in purple and black, and some surface flies in pink.

Steelhead are so maniacal that they can easily work a hook out of their mouths, which is the reason I've started using shorter-shanked hooks with a tube fly.

With my limited coho experience, I ask the question "should I be using my tubes for silvers"?

Thanks.

A steelhead fly fisherman needs two qualities:
A strong casting arm and a room temperature IQ.
