There's a couple pages bout Tube flies in the very back of the Fly Tying Bible.
Heck if you can find a fly shop that has a copy, you could just hang out and
read it in the store. You shoulda got to Roscoe before Poul Jorgensen passed
away.....he was always tyin' Tubes....i coulda took you over to his house.
Well.....mostly i use saddle hackle.....i mean more than anything else. But
i'll use anything that has long enough fibers. Different pheasent feathers (all
the different pheasents), waterfowl feathers, anything.....log as the feather's
fibers will fit whatever i'm tryin to do based on hooks size. That's all that
really matters and of course good materials. Whiting produces the BEST hackle
on the planet......chicken hackle........wether that be rooster necks, and
saddles, or hen backs, saddles, anything off a chicken rooster OR hen. You got
Whiting, and then there's everybody else. i use a lotta their dyed Grizzley
saddles. And plain white saddle hackle that's been dyed all the colors, also
Whiting. And i use a lotta Guinea......all kinna differnet Guinea, different
species and most of it dyed. But i use it natural too. ooppss, i c u used the
word bargin.....well, Whiting is expensive, by comparison.....but you get what
you pay for.........i hear Denny will be back for Sowbug again this year
so..........try Conranch. Contact him ahead of time and see if he can bring
what you need. Save shipping. Two of my favorite words in the English
language.....specially when put side by side, lmao....."save shipping." Denny
has good stuff at good prices.

Mark, it is out of print and sold out on their web site. Thanks for passing
that along. I think the Tube Flies book is well suited to what I want. I'm
mostly looking for a primer on how this stuff works so I can adapt bass flies
to tubes. I would be interested in knowing what you hackle with to get those
long flowing hackles and colors. Anything that's a bargain would be cool. As
always, thanks for your help.
