us down to half days at the booths, I could not sell enough flies to pay

Alan,
Just an idea- I don't fish tube flies. What about a long fisherman's loop that
would go through the tube and loop through the hook eye, leaving the knot
inside the tube, if it fits. If not, leave the knot far enough in front of the
tube to slip the leader back to undo the hook, and
I'm right-handed and I've always reeled right handed after changing the
rod from right hand to left I know that in the time it takes to change
the rod from right hand to left hand has cost me a fish or two, but try
as I may, I just can't get the hang of reeling left-handed. I've had
this
Jimmy,
Do you spin-fish? Normal for righties is to cast right and reel left. Even
with me, the old bait-casters were a swap-over proposition- cast right-reel
right. Then I made the swap to spin-casting, and it became natural. Flyfishing
is the same as spin-casting- cast right, reel left.
When I was young, less than ten I believe, my father gave me his bamboo fly
rod gave me a lesson. I don't remember switching hands, but it's possible.
A lot of lost brain cells since then. I had a half day lesson maybe seven
years ago, about the same time I had my two day fly tying lesson
Sorry - that was meant to be off-list.

The blind eye hooks have tapered shanks, so you just push the hook up the shank

If you want to rotate the fly to access the other side just twist tube round

I believe that a tapered shank has no eye. Is that correct?
You have to lash monofilament to the shank, correct?

This is my set up.
The nylon leader material is tied directly to the hook and around the hook
shank several turns. When pulled tight, it butts up against the hook eye and
hangs straight. Only the eye of the hook is placed into the clear tubing
which is also attached to the end
These are some home made tubes made with brass or copper tubing from a model

plastic insert with a needle in place to keep the tube open.
