I’ve greatly appreciated your frequent uploads over the last couple months Tom! Stuck finishing classes after work and can’t get out, but the summer is approaching!!
Thanks Tom, indeed this particular Futsu Kebari makes its frequent "guest appearance" as a familiar cast character in many a Teton Tenkara episode . Bonus, you share the how, where ( depth of water column) and when (seasons to fish it) trifecta lesson. Bravo Sir!!!
Great tie Tom. 3 things, like the brassie wire hotspot, that is new to me. Second and also new is doing a dubbing loop for the peacock. I have often used my thread but another new one to me. Lastly, looks like a dry fly hackle. Do you ever use a soft hackle on this? Thanks Tom, I certainly appreciate your time.
@garrydurfey9700 The Historical Japanese traditional Futsu Kebari are tied with dry fly "stiff Saddle Hackle" as Dr.Davis's pattern demonstrates. Japanese Tenkara Masters tie the futsu Kebari without bead, contemporary flytiers incorporate beads for breaking surface or going deep. Futsu Kebari are fished either on surface or below no set rule. Kebari hackled down wing style with wet fly feather i.e. Partridge, pheasant or soft Hen hackle feather are called "Jun Kebari" and tied reverse hackled "Sakasa Kebari". I humbly thank you.
Well done! Many thanks for posting these in addition to your on-stream VLOGs.

Thanks Vic. I have been trying to memorize the differences in the flies and those are great descriptions. Tight lines.
Garry, yes, this fly can be tied with a soft hackle. But then it's a different (equally effective) pattern. :o)
