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.
Nice! May I ask what is the recipe for the Gin Seisho? It looks simple and effective!

Thank you Tom, I will be doing a video on the Gin Seisho. Stay tuned.
DeleteI use a few of the Tenkara flies that a fellow blogger tied for me.
ReplyDeleteThey are effective in the small streams I fish.
There quite fun to tie I am finding, and the trout dig them. So its a win win.
