About this video: In this video Jaap Kalkman from Skeena River Fly Supply shows how to tie the Hobo Spey Tube Fly variation. This pattern was designed by us for Skeena River Lodge and is a highly productive pattern for spring and summer steelhead on the Skeena system. With a lifetime of experience in the field of guiding and fly tying you will be sure to benefit from the fly tying tips and step-by-step instructions in this video and hopefully end up making better flies!

Hello Jaap. I tie a big number of Ho Bo Spey on tubes each year and I learned a couple things from your video. Always things to learn! Thanks again for your effort.

Thanks Loren! One of the great things about fly fishing (and tying) I think. Always things to learn :-)

[@henkvervloedt5617]

Thanks Jaap for the great movie. As shown on your website the owner of SRL caught a very beautiful steelhead using this fly. This gives me confidence using it.

Thanks Henk! Yes, it has been a very productive pattern for sure. Good one to have in your fly box :-)
