For those of you that haven't heard of tube flies and enjoy swinging flies for steelhead then this may be a great class for you! Tube flies are tied on small diameter tubing which allows you to keep the fly and the hook separate. This allows the tier or angler more versatility and customizing by being able to swap hooks when one dulls or bends. Same thing if the fly gets damaged. Also, having the hook separate from the fly allows the angler better control of how the hook rides through the water. The hook up to landing ratio is considerably higher too because the hook generally rides near the back of the fly for short strikes and the fish have less leverage on the short shanked hooks typically used for tube flies.
