The Max Copper Tube is also known as the "Max Fly" or "Ponoi Hummer," developed by the long-time Ponoi Head Guide Max Mamaev. The tying method is as simple as the fly is successful. In terms of color, it follows the winning formula of a Willie Gun, combined with a black collar made of Bunny Rabbit fur. The advantage of this fly: the bucktail is quite stiff and extends just slightly beyond the end of the tube. This reduces the chances of the fly twisting during casting, ensuring that the hook is always positioned at the rear, improving the hook-up rate. This fly proves to be extremely effective, especially at the beginning of the season and in rivers with a reddish-brown water color. However, the smaller sizes can also be a true game-changer later in the season.
Whether in Lapland, Norway, Russia, or the UK, the Max Fly tied on a copper tube is an excellent addition to your repertoire, especially for fresh, aggressive salmon. We also like to keep this fly in our fly boxes towards the end of the season.
