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!

Otherwise I think we ought to take some of top gun" here and set up an "Iron Chef" competition: "The secret ingredient is....Tenkara!" (Extra points to the gent who pulls off the best Yellow Sally. )

Thanks all.

I'm not sure on the hook. Dry fly though.
Thread: pearsall's bright orange waxed
Rib: x-small lagartun gold braid
Hackle: cinnamon dyed CDC and partridge

Interesting fly.......good looking. Will definately work.......but what (in this particular case) is the point of the wax?

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?

Wrapped back and finished behind the hackle. The basic pattern I got out of a book on tying with CDC.
