Fly of the Month

Tenkara Flies

Every Fly Tyer from Dame Juliana's time has aspired towards the ultimate fly. The one that no fish will refuse.
I am pleased to announce that I have produced this fly, and in the process have gone one better.
This fly does not even have to be cast, you can put on the grass next the the water and it will catch fish.
The only problem with this method is that it takes time.
This fly is so good that fish are willing to evolve legs or wings to go and get one off your fly tying bench!

Fly Tying Tip of the Month

Japanese hackle trick



To split the thread, first place the thread on the hook where you need it and let the bobbin hang so that it will unwind the thread naturally while you prepare your dubbing or other material. When ready, unwind it back half a turn or more then pull quite firmly away from you.
You should find that it has flattened itself against the hook.
