"Tube Flies on a Tube Steak Budget"

Have you heard or read good things about tube flies and have wanted to learn to tie them? Have you thought about it,  but didn't think you could afford the new equipment?

The "dogs" are running late in some parts of Washington, even into January, so if you are fly-fishing for them now, perhaps you would like to try a few of these.
