Excellent fly, Joel.
Santiago,
Thanks
Santiago,
Thanks a lot for your reply, and I know what you mean. But if you look at the flies shown in this article you see tube flies using some of the components covered in the article, and still very creative, some of them quite complex and all of them very nicely designed flies if you ask me.
I have to agree on some of the newer prefabricated bodies and shells. The cones, heads and sculls available for tube flies help add weight and shape, but can hardly be said to make the fly tying faster or more convenient. In my opinion they are just a fine way of finishing the fly with style.
But I certainly respect your opinion.

You're right Martin,
You're right Martin, my comment sounds too strict.
In my opinion, flytying has much to do with art and creativity. Tube flies are excellent and I consider them just a different design that came up from a very creative flytier's mind many years ago.
Having said that, I also think that pre manufactured components as plastic heads, fish skulls, ready-to-use brushes and bodies, etcetera are focused on getting the job done fast.
My connection with flytying is more related to a pleasant "do it yourself" hobbie than a "fast food" job style.
I don't want to convince anyone, It's just my humble opinion.
Regards!

Santiago,
You will have to explain that... why should tube fly tying be assembling more than tying?
I can tell you that some of the best tyers I know also tie tube flies, and trust me: there's no assembling there, but really excellent tying skills that use fur, feathers and synthetics like on all other types of flies. Just because you use a tube in stead of a hook and a cone in stead of a brass bead or stick-on eyes, tying tube flies is no more assembling than tying a nymph, a saltwater fly or a dry.

VOICE CASTING the film is very interesting and knowing the whole area of the Skeena river, I should be safeguarded from any human intervention, people like me who has seen and fished in that region can not forget the beauty of the environment and the purity of the water , I think I see the back of rapid steelhead is a unique spectacle.
Please do not touch the Skeena and its tributaries
THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Seems that fly-tying is turning to fly-assembling. Sorry I don't like it.

Cut away
pacho,
I have cut away the butter and the cheese in most of my sandwiches. Trying to avoid saturated fat is good for your health it's said... I sometimes add cheese, but mostly don't.

Where is the cheese?
