We use hair from very small or juvenile squirrels – This type of fine hair is not too stiff – nor too fine…but just perfect for these subtle surface flies.

The HITCHMAN series something extraordinary
Here the Hitchman – Silver riffling hitch tube fly from our new series of riffling hitch tube flies. Over + 40 years I have been building highly specialized flies for surface fishing and from many 100´s of fly patterns I only have very few that I would call extraordinarily good – The flies from this series are such flies. I designed them on a notion, putting together some of the best and most seductive details we use in our many other riffling hitch flies and was rewarded with a fly that broke the code and brought a long line of salmon to the top…in such a way that I immediately knew I was onto something special.

Small
The overall length of the V-FLY series is 35-millimeter wing – but a body of only 15 millimeter – equivalent in length to a # 8 hook… But it is a difficult fly to compare to a fly tied on hook
Fly is shown with hook – but sold without one!
Depending on your preference, the rules of the riverkeeper or water association you would
choose hooks suited for the river your fishing. To the left, you can see our suggestions on hooks – but we have many more hooks in our hook-category
Special details on tubing
An important part of the HITCHMAN series of riffling hitch flies is the decor you finde on the flanks (sides) of the flies. We could and we have on other riffling hitch flies used holographic tinsel that we have wound around the body of the flies, this time we have chosen only to decorate the sides of the tubing leaving the tubing still clear so that light could shine through the tube/fly giving it a lifelike appearance.
It may look like we have coloured the tubing – this is not the case, it is, in fact, the color of the holographic tape/tinsel that is reflected in the tubing.
Iridescent pixel mylar
The Hitchman series have a unique appearance based on the experience we have had over the years with various low water lures and flies for salmon and trout – Adding these green iridescent pixels to the head of the fly have proven to be very successful. The iridescent material is glued on to the fly with super-glue

The riffling hitch tube fly system – In detail
Delicate micro flies perfected to trail in the surface
All Fishmadman hitch tube flies is based on the same clever system that will enable you to fish with different hooks.
The line is entered through a hole in the belly or side of the fly – This will make the fly pull to the surface and wake. Due to the design of the tube system, the fly will hitch with ease even in slack water – We use fine hair from small squirrel as this has proven to be unrivaled material for these subtle micro wake flies.
Technical details
Temperature resistant tubing
Probably the best hitch tubing – ever made…
We think we have the right to brag… when we say the best tubing ever made. All other tubing found in fly tying shops could not live up to our expectations. Together with a chemical engineer, we developed a new PVC-free plastic formula for the solemn purpose of producing a tube for riffling hitch.
- It will withstand a lot of mechanical wear
- Very low memory – This will ensure that the tube fall back into place after use (hook removed)
- Will work in a wide range of temperatures including frost cold days.
This is the same tube we use for our wake flies and other bigger tube flies. See the tube in our shop
