Re: Waterhen Tenkara
Oooooohhh, I like this one. I can imagine that hackle pulsating and driving trout crazy. Very nice.

Re: Waterhen Tenkara
Bill, that is really nicely done. I especially like the way the silk is handled from tag to hackle, and so subtle. This is the same technique I've used for the bodies on my iron blues, with a little more dubbing on the silk rib. Did you split the thread on this or just a tiny touch dub? It's very well done.

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