ARCTIC FOX TUBE FLIES

Red/Gold Flash, Arctic Fox Tube Fly

$3.99

Many years ago I made a trip through the Sierra Nevada in the fall and went through the tackle shops looking for what colors of lures were out of stock. The most common missing color was red and gold in many spoons and spinners. When I had a supply of red fur, I had a production run of tube flies tied in the red and gold color scheme.

Additional Info

These flies can be rigged and trolled in a number of ways. These flies can be fished “naked”, just the fly and manipulated with your rod. The Jay Fair method and ripping are a couple of ways to fish just a fly on a sinking line. Dodgers are another popular way to animate the flies. Dodgers limit the speed range for trolling without rolling the fly. The Wiggle Fin Action Disc #1 is an excellent way to animate the fly at any depth. With the #1 disc on the nose of the fly the materials will be lifted out by the turbulence produced by the disc. At 4 to 12 inches above the fly, the fly will have a narrower profile and a tighter vibration/wiggle. A Wiggle Fin Action Disc #2 makes the fly jump back and forth similar to a dodger. Some anglers have tied in swivels with a bead or the Slide Lock Bead to hold the disc up the line. A video with underwater shots of many of my flies rigged can be seen here: Fly Rigging Video.

Due to increasing inflation costs I have been struggling not to raise my fly prices. To maintain my fly prices, I will no longer be sending an Action Disc with each Arctic Fox Trolling Fly. My new policy will be: If you order a minimum of 6 mixed Arctic Fox #2 flies and Arctic Fox Tube Flies I will include one #1 Disc for every two flies ordered. ie If you order 6 flies: three discs included, order 8 flies get 4 #1 discs, order 10 flies get 5 #1 discs.
