It must cost you a fortune feeding them flies!!

Do they eat raw meat?

Only joking!

Great adaptations

I'm sure it does, but UG never tied this one ;D

Looks like a good un Dave, and very well tied, but I just have a vision in my head of a fish parting the hackles to examine the rib before taking it

I see you used plastic with full plastic liner. Do you not find that too buoyant?

Not really Brian

The cone is pretty heavy, which helps get it down a bit, But the fox when properly wetted, has a fair bit of weight to it also.

I'm not a huge fan of templedogs on heavy tubes, I prefer to fish larger lighter weight, plastic/ aluminium tubes off a fast sinking line or sink tip.
Another reason is, I've gone off partially lining my scandi tubes for use with cones, ie using a friction joint or whipping the 2 sections together, leaving a hook gap in the larger tubing, as I found them to be less robust, than using a fully lined tube, especially when using tungsten cones.

Nice flee Dave but you don't have to run the small plastic tubing all the way through, i only have mine about a 1/3rd of the way in the larger tubing, and i have never had a problem doing it this way.

Cheers UG

I used to tie them that way, using a friction joint, but I prefer doing it this way now, as I've lost a few fish using solid plastic as a hook hold, I prefer the junction tubing over the back.
