Tenkara Flies on Wednesdays: The Horse Hair Sakasa Kebari

Tenkara Flies on Wednesdays:  The Horse Hair Sakasa Kebari
written by Jason

 

This is one of my go-to patterns and lots of people have asked for a video on how to tie.  It's a simple pattern, but the two contrasting strands of horse hair used for the body create nice segmentation while the variegation of the grizzly hackle gives a complex, "buggy" impression.
