Trying out my Tenkara ties.

 Well i got the notion the other week to tie some tenkara flies.  Now i dont tenkara fish, I just use them like any other fly. But this time tying I designed some tenkara patterns of my own.  I have a certain one that is by far the most effective out of the bunch. I call it my Gin Seisho.  I also figure out a way to make the reverse hackling cake work.  Well anyway. So i got back out to my local spring creek and tied on Gin Seisho, and began drifting.  On the second drift a little wild brown came up for the fly. A quick pic and thank you, off he went.  I put the gin seisho up into the heart of the run and got myself a really nice and feisty brown. This brown must have been  hanging around the rainbow crowd. He went air born 3 times, and would not sit still for a picture.  I managed a couple more before the rain came back down.    The Gin seisho was all i needed this evening.

  2. I use a few of the Tenkara flies that a fellow blogger tied for me.
    They are effective in the small streams I fish.
