Karsten teaches tips and techniques in a Tenkara fly tying demonstration, a perfect fly for both beginners or experienced tiers alike.
We'll be tying an Ondori Futsu Kebari (Ondori = Rooster Hackle, Futsu = hackle orientation traditional/conventional, Kebari = fishing fly), a really versatile pattern that only uses 2 materials and can be adapted to match your local hatch by varying colour and size. You can fish this fly using Tenkara or conventional fly fishing methods. Even though this is a wet fly, dressing it on a dry fly hook enables you to fish it as both a wet or dry. Don't be afraid to add floatant to the hackle if you want it to ride high on the water.
Pattern Recipe;
Hook is an Ahrex FW531 dry fly barbless #10
You can use any dry fly hook and if you would like a fly that gets down more you can use a heavier wire hook.
Thread is a Danvilles orange size A monocord
You can use any thick thread, seeing the body and head are thread only a thicker thread allows you to build the fly more efficiently.
Hackle is a gorgeous Whitings Hebert Miner rooster cape in pale watery dun.
