As Bob puts it: "I think my big reason for turning to them is portability".

One bag of flies and a small container with hooks of your choice, and you're set for days of salmon and steelhead fishing. And with Bob's flies, which are made with epoxy, the flies will last a whole season.

Bob ties tube flies profesionally and is usually booked up early as he does all his own tying. All tying done in the home office in a dedicated area. And we're talking quality flies. Average actual tying time per fly (not including drying and curing of different stages of fly) ― hour.

Says Bob: "My preference is to fish with a two handed rod which increases the laughs from fishing partners as I sometimes wack myself with my flies".

One of them was this one - The Rocket. They were quite excited about the fly - first of all because it's a light tube fly, second because it's very durable. They saw in it not only the cod fly that I had made, but also a pike fly, a fly for pike perch and a universal fly for all kinds of deep fishing for larger fish.

A few random articles for your entertainment Boot Blues GFF partner Martin Joergensen has owned quite a few wading boots in his time. None of them fit his bill for a perfect pair. Actually most of them fell apart and were trashed within a few seasons. His hunt for a perfect pair continues. June 16th 2005 Getting wet - or not Fishing on the coast in the winter is very close to some obscure kind of self torture. There are only vague chances of catching anything, it's usually pretty unconfortable and you would mostly be better off staying home tying flies. But GFF partner Martin Joergensen went out anyway. February 25th 2007 IFTS 2007 The International Fly Tying Symposium was held on November 17th and 18th in Somerset, New Jersey. As usual, the place was wall-to-wall fly tyers, tying everything from giant saltwater streamers to trout flies. Streamers, salmon flies, you name it - someone was tying it. November 18th 2007 Wading podcast A trip to the southern coast of Sweden inspired Martin to do a podcast about wading on slippery surfaces in still and running water. Unfortunately the recorder broke down (drowned!) after a few minutes of recording, so most of the podcast is actually recorded in the harbor of Copenhagen. February 15th 2006
