I think that your "obvious problem with tube flies" is more perceived than
real and not a real problem. I my case I am more likely to damage my tube
fly than lose it in a snag.

You must be getting those Eumer products at a good price, John. :) I have no
problem breaking off a regular fly on a hang up. If I was using that Eumer
stuff, you're talking about a couple of bucks a pop for a tube and cone combo.

What's the big idea? Are you afraid to lose any flies? If it's that big a
deal don't get your flies wet. In Michigan if your not fishing where there is
a strong possibility of losing your fly, your not catching fish. The flies are
expendable.

I've been thinking about the same thing. It makes me hesitant to use them in

You can replace a hook if it becomes damaged (usually by hitting a rock on
the back cast) but the tube does not stay on if you snag and the line breaks
