Exceptional! - both pattern and photos. Thanks for adding the "dunkin'" photos.
Absolutely nothing against this type of fly, but it reminds me of a kid wearing his hat backwards; doesn't look like he knows which way he's going.
I've never tied or fished this type of fly, but it looks darn interesting.

Bill - I sent Misako an E-mail, with a link to this post, in hopes she would chime in. I would love to hear about her experience fishing these flies. I am finding them very intriguing at the moment. Chris's DVD has created a monster.tie2fish wrote:I hope Misako sees this, Ray...

Re: Orange and Hen Pheasant Sakasa Kebari
Ray, beautiful fly & photos. Sorta makes a good case for Leisenring's hackling method as well, the hackle locked (spring loaded) perpendicular to the hook shank, with thread wraps passed through. Yet I continue to see the tendency to apply the hackle last, tied in by the tip & lashed back against the body -- an inferior method, allowing the least hackle movement.

Re: Orange and Hen Pheasant Sakasa Kebari
Wow Ray, what a stunning sequence of photos, so telling! You should write an article and get these published imho...
Impeccable tying as always![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)

Re: Orange and Hen Pheasant Sakasa Kebari
Yup, summer is well and truly here my friend. Haven't been doing much fishing due to a bathroom renovation, that's behind us now so I'll hopefully her to harass some trout shortly.
Btw I'm serious this would make an amazing article in a fly fishing/fly tying mag, you should seriously consider it...

I just sent Chris some more silk cord treated with persimmon juice. It's an interesting process. I dip the cord in the juice and let it dry in the sun. Sunlight causes the treated cord to darken. Each subsequent dip builds up another layer on the cord; stiffening and waterproofing it. The Japanese actually made raincoats out of paper treated with persimmon juice.

Bill, I'm impressed.

Could this be the'Famous Blue Raincoat'?
