Relaxing Fly Tying: Totally Tubular Fish

When I happened across this fly in an online issue of @intheloopmagazine, I was charmed by its blend of realism and whimsy. I found a small patch of peacock sword that begged to be the dorsal fin, and thus a meandering path away from some of the original ingredients was forged. While my version is undoubtedly peacock-centric, it’s the silhouette that’s the true star of the show here! 💙 Fly: Totally Tubular Fish Tied by: Erin Hyde Originated by: Steve Yewchuck @steveyewchuck9026 Target Species: Trout, bass, pickerel, pike ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intro: Pen: https://amzn.to/3AVXyFR Paper: https://amzn.to/3XHkWjl ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Materials: Hook (size 4): Genryuu Streamer (Thank you @flyprojectusa @houseofflyusa) Thread: https://collabs.shop/u1mqc9 Tail: https://collabs.shop/dviqqu Underbody: https://collabs.shop/syoupv Body (1/4”): https://collabs.shop/eeratw Dorsal fin: https://collabs.shop/uq7ydn Lateral line: https://collabs.shop/pi42hi Pectoral fins: https://amzn.to/4iEUD5P Head:https://collabs.shop/msmdbr Eyes: https://amzn.to/401J69q Art markers: https://amzn.to/3OrZIk0 Head cement: https://collabs.shop/fci6iw Gorilla superglue: https://amzn.to/3CNimjV --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tools: Tester Tank: https://flymenfishingcompany.com/prod...
