I like that a lot! Thanks for sharing. You've given me yet one more reason to get a Tenkara rod someday.

You did a fantastic job Bill.....that's prolly the nicest tenkara fly i've ever seen. Tenkara Dio would be impressed.
Ray, give us a shout when you want that rod.....make a great birthday present to yourself.

Where did you get the peacock herl? Great variation.

Bill,
Your "messing around" far outdoes my best efforts at the vice. Very nice Tenkara fly indeed!
NJpatbee is right. Beautiful variation in the peacock quill body.

The herl that I stripped for this fly came from a natural (not bleached/dyed) Nature's Spirit eyestick.
