One of my personal favorites to swing in stained water is the Lemon Lime tube fly pattern. The monster cone head is altered to give it a more realistic swimming action, which also prevents the fly from spinning.

This minnow pattern is another one of our favorites for swinging. The realistic swimming action is provided by the altered monster cone head, which also assists the fly in tracking true and upright.

The sister fly of the Chubby Wubby, with an altered monster cone head and tied on a micro brass tube, imitates the Creek Chub in its spring spawning phase. Being the egg raiders they are, it is a very effective pattern when fishing for spring steelhead.

In the past purple has been a productive color for me so I created this unique tube fly. The purple color combined with the wriggling motion the altered cone head produces makes this one of the more successful flies I've fished.

Made of Zonker strip and cross cut rabbit for great material action this tube fly is tied on a Black brass tube body with an altered monster cone head to balance out the bouyancy of the rabbit which results in a nice swimming action.

Pure as the word implies! I have fished white wooly buggers for years with an excellent track record. This fly takes the place of that, using white artic fox, hackle and crinkled flash tinsel in a dynomite combination. This fly is tied on a white brass body for fast water.
