Description
- Any fly pattern can be used with your tenkara fly fishing rod, including dries, nymphs, streamers, terrestrials, etc., but tenkara traditionalists focus less on hatch/insect visual imitation and more on fly movement and presentation. That’s why a simply hackle-forward fly patterned called the Sakasa Kebari is often the go-to tenkara fly pattern. It doesn’t resemble any particular insect but, with the hackle facing towards the hook’s eye, under water it pulses and is an effective attractor. When dressed with a bit of floatant, the Sakasa Kebari can be made to skitter across the surface of the water and offer dry action, making it a very versatile, non-specific fly pattern. Our Sakasa Kebari flies are available in Sizes 8, 10, 12 and 14, and in 3 colors: Black, Green and Yellow.

I’m really sorry to be so slow in responding to your request for my review of your Tenkara Flys I ordered. Three Artic storms in a row that his us with power outages and snow and icing conditions made it impossible to get back to you any sooner, believe me.
I can finally get to say that these flies are the nicest I’ve seen. Normally I do my own tying but the photographs of yours looked so inviting I just had to order some for when this winter weather finally breaks. Rest assured I will be ordering more dowm the road., I only wis you stocked other Tenkara styles, too.
