Great looking fly. But I don't understand or see (doesn't show in picture) how liner tube is joined to junction tube with thread wrap over front of junction tube. Would it not be easier to melt the read end of the liner tube up against the rear of the bullet tube (and then add junction tube)...as you do to finish the fly off after the conehead?

Tight lines.

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
