Ron lives in Port Moody, British Columbia, Canada – builds custom split cane rods and has been fly fishing and tying flies for + 40 years . His passion is that of fishing remote BC rivers for summer-run steelhead using floating fly lines and skating… Grantham Sedge flies.

This fly and many other of our wake flies are tied on our Riffling hitch tube 3.2 millimetres –

Medium version

This a 45-millimeter version – equivalent to a # 4 – 6 streamer hook – Here shown with an Owner Iseama 1/0 single hook

Fish your fly with the hook up-side-down

Just like some anglers will fish the hook reversed on the Quigley’s Dragon Gurgler – they would also use this technique on their Tube Grantham Sedge – to do so in an easy and smart way you may use a so-called egg hook or up-eye hook– as seen fitted on the fly in the image to the lift. The up-eye hook will enable you to get a different angle on the hook and the low-memory medium soft tubing this steelhead wake Bomber is tied on, is well suited to accommodate such a fly fishing method.
