Tenkara Flies by Misako Ishimura
NOTE: This post was edited in an effort to replace the photos that disappeared when Photobucket broke all my links. There were originally four flies tied by Misako, but I can only locate one of them in my files. Sorry about that ...
Here is a lovely fly tied in the tenkara style and photographed by Mark Romero's talented wife Misako Ishimura ...

Fantastic flies, just like the lady that created them!

Great looking flies.
For those of you that have never met Misa she is a very special lady and I mean lady.

Re: Tenkara Flies by Misako Ishimura
Misa is astounding. And her meticulous tenkara-style flies are a refreshing addition to the forum. If she decides to register and participate, I'll be watching eagerly for any of her posts.
Re: Tenkara Flies by Misako Ishimura
Wow, those flies are just SUPREME. I hope Misa does join here. I need to pick up that book one day. But I want her to sign my copy... Will she be selling them at the Sowbug? Misa just oozes talent. She is incredibly gifted in so many areas. I hold her in high regards, that's for sure.
Re: Tenkara Flies by Misako Ishimura
Beautiful. I especially like the detail and thoughtful creativity that is noticeable in each one. Misa would be a greatly welcomed addition to the forum.
I little story for everyone, I originally met Mark on another site and then him and Misa in person at a fly tying show all the way over here in Oregon, where we were all tying. I am usually a bit standoffish (just my personality). The morning following the show I was getting breakfast at the hotel before a long drive home, looking for a place to sit in a crowded room of others doing the same. Mark and Misa graciously invited me to join them. I had a wonderful breakfast with two people who are some of the friendliest, giving, enjoyable people around and who you can see immediately, have a love and commitment for each other that is very special and increasingly hard to find this day and age.
Always my best to both of you.

I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.
