Tan Dun Sakasa Kebari

[Old Hat]

I have a tenkara box to fill. You may turn it around to fish it as a more traditional wingless wet.

Hook: Klinkhammer #18 (this hook is more around the #14 size)
Thread: well waxed dun Griffith's 14/O
Rib: tan silk floss
Thorax: mix of black seal/hares ear/brown antron
Hackle: Small tan brahma hen hackle

-Very nicely done, beautiful flies.
-You're right for the hook, I have 20 and I think they are like 14th

Great tie. Have you Tenkara guys looked at the Italian Valsesiana patterns. They are similar but more towards a traditional wet fly.

I'll bet Misa loves this one, Carl. It is a wonderful creation.

I missed out, that is a very nice fly, whichever way around the hackle.
I have been meaning to dress some of the Italian Alpines.
