FLYMPH FORUM

Tkx., i'll have some Tenkara rods with me.....mine for fishin' ................and........ .....well, whatever Misa instructs me to do

That's beautiful, Mark.

I know this looks very much like the one that willowhead just put up, but it was done before I saw his and he says it's OK for me to post it ...

Horsehair Tenkara
Hook: Gamakatsu (thank you, Mark)
Thread: Peasall's Gossamer, #15 Maroon
Hackle: Partridge dyed ginger (thank you, Jon)
Abdomen: Contrasting horse tail hairs (thank you, Trigger and Champion)
Thorax: Peacock eyestick bleached and dyed Sulphur Orange (thank you, Nature's Spirit)

Bill, thankx and your very welcome.....i'm very glad you posted your beautiful tye..........boy that puppy REALLY "works" on that hook..... Do you know what size that hook is? i'm guessing a 10 maybe, or 12. Everthing works so well together abdomen/thorax/hackle. That body taper is smokin'.....KILLER!

I bet that fly will drive the trout "mad." Nice background on the photo.

Goodness sakes, those are both beautiful flies. Great job Mark & Bill. I have resisted jumping on this Tenkara bandwagon, but I feel my willpower is slipping. These last two flies have pushed me dangerously close to the edge...

Tkx. Ray.....the "other" one (which was sposed to be posted yesterday), will be up SOON. Misa takes freekin' great pics.

Recognized it, eh, JohnP? William was good enough to send me that copy of Robert Traver's "Trout Madness".

I did. One of my favorites.
