The Tandem Tube

I've been tying flies for steelhead quite a lot over the last year. Mike Sturza of Lost Creek Fly Shop showed me the Tandem Tube, but it was designed by Brian Silvey in Oregon.

If I had one fly to fish for steelhead, the Tandem Tube would be it. The hatchery fish below took a fleshy-pink and orange Tandem Tube like the one in the middle above.
