The TenkaraGrasshopper Tenkara Kebari Fly Box
Hello everyone. I decided after a few questions from a number of readers what flies I carry with me for a day of Tenkara fishing. So, here are my top four choices that I like and from what I have seen of other Tenkara anglers we are pretty much all the same. I hope you enjoy and can find some patterns here that you can use in your own box.
(Just as a quick note for you. I am still developing this page and will be adding some videos on how to tie these patterns in the near future. Until I have the videos up you can go to TenkaraBum and see the directions to how Chris Stewart ties these patterns up.)
