After returning from the International Fly Tying Symposium yesterday, I felt inspired to tie – and use my new bobbin (more on the bobbin & the show in tomorrow’s post).
Anyway, this is my interpretation of a tenkara Sakasa Kebari fly, all beadheaded out, because beadhead nymphs are how I find most of my success locally. I had always wanted to tie one like this, and I consider the design is a branch off the evolutionary tree showed off by Laurent Marshall over at his Tenkara Adventurer blog earlier this year.

Very nice my good man.I like it.
I like it. Nice job. Mark
Sweet! It's similar to a soft-hackle, no? But on steroids! And with a copper wire body. And a bead. OK, it's nothing like a soft hackle. 😉
Cool looking but. Nice job. I'd eat it if I were a trout. =)The Average Joe Fishermanhttp://averagejoefisherman.blogspot.com/
Thanks all. It was fun to tie. Hope it catches some fish too.
