As usual, nice looking flies, Alan. I do like the last one with the burlap body.<br />Those hackles give all those flies a very buggy look. <br />I've been playing with tenkara rods over the last couple of years. Not to the exclusion of my western style fly gear but I've found it to be a lot of fun, especially on some of the tiny creeks that I like to fish. It does not seem to be as popular here in OZ as it is in the US. I've yet to meet another tenkara fisher out on the stream.<br />Kindest Regards,<br />Steve.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17349271164490121533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-91477987424054048722017-09-25T20:34:57.179-04:002017-09-25T20:34:57.179-04:00Alan, I have never tried that style of fly fishing...Alan, I have never tried that style of fly fishing but it sure is intriguing.
