Very nice! This tenkara thing is going to be bad! 
Now I'm embarrassed to post the one I tied today. Oh what the heck!

Thread: pearsall's bright orange waxed
Rib: x-small lagartun gold braid
Hackle: cinnamon dyed CDC and partridge

Carl - How did you form the hackle on this fly? Did you split the silk and insert the CDC & partridge fibers, or did you wrap the feathers?
