The Cone Head Tube Fly

A brand new way of tying tube flies

This version of the Cone Head is especially well for night fishing. I tie it with a longer and thicker wing and use marabou as overwing. I also dub the head with marabou fibres. This gives the fly a nice silhouette. On this version I have used a nickel cone head. Pattern: Tube: 3 cm or 1 1/4", nickel cone head Butt: Three turns with oval silver tinsel Body: Black or charcoal floss Rib:Oval silver tinsel Underwing: Black fox 2.5 to 3 times the tube lenght. A couple of strands of flash. Overwing: Black marabou 3 times the body length Dub the head with marabou fibres Whip finish at least two times. I don't varnish this fly because it will ruin the marabou dubbing, but I use a drop of superglue to fix the thread.
