All,

I'm curious whether or not you should tie sunrays on anything other than plastic/aluminium tubes?  Is it better to keep them on light tubes but to vary the depth they fish at with sinking lines and sink tips?  or is a sunray tied on a big copper tube good too? There doesn't seem to be many examples of people tying sunrays on copper tubes?

Cheers

Matt

My understanding from reading lots of Norwiegn sites and watching YouTube videos is that the Sunray should be fished either on the surface or just under.

This will be why you only ever see them on light tubes.

The sunray style of fly was originally a top of the water "scratch" the surface film job .
More recently its long winged relations are being fished at all depths .
Some twenty years ago I fished spring salmon a lot more than I do now and early season a Graesser inspired tadpole  on a copper tube was one of my favorites for the Brora and carron ,worked rather well .Wish my income could provide me with two spring salmon weeks these days !
