Our buddy and spey instructor Tom Larimer just posted a really good, really thorough article about tube flies and king salmon.
Tom’s article covers
- Tube selection
- Stacking tubes
- Bullet weights
- Fly colors, and
- Rigging stinger hooks.
If you like tube flies or king salmon (or Tom Larimer), you should swing on by his web site and check it out.
Nice one, Tom!

eyes.
