Working to combine a few elements as a modification of a very successful summer (Atlantics) tube tie from a few years back, I've come up with this wee unweighted tube for summer/early autumn trials:

Nice Mike,

I have taken to fishing with many Willie Gunn and Sunray style flies over the past couple years, this one looks like a fish getter.

Very nice. I think I can interpret the dressing, but do you mind listing it for me. PB is no problem here, just trying to make out colour mix etc. Thanks!

You could fish those for just about anything. I need to spend a little more time on tubes. Well played.

Very nice! That would be a good early autumn fly around here.

I think that would make an excellent SRC fly as well for our beaches...
