A Photographic Gallery of Needle Tube Flies<\/h2>\n

Below is a collection of photographs of a variety of flies, for salmon, sea trout and steelhead fly fishing, dressed on slim stainless steel Needle Tubes<\/a>, developed and manufactured by Grays of Kilsyth in Scotland.<\/p>\n

Since their introduction by Grays of Kilsyth<\/a> in 2008, the popularity of the needle tube among game fishers worldwide has grown year by year. Flies dressed on Needle Tubes have accounted for many notable catches<\/a> of both Pacific and Atlantic salmon, steelhead and sea trout. Needle tubes, made in lengths ranging from 10mm to 40mm, are versatile and may be adapted to the dressing of a wide range of fly styles. The silver stainless steel body of the needle tube may be left undressed, simplifying the dressing of our flies. Indeed, some of the flies shown below may be dressed very easily and successfully by a complete beginner in the art of fly tying. I have found, particularly in my sea trout fishing, the simplest of flies are often the most effective! See Tying a Simple Tube Fly<\/a><\/p>\n
