Sully's are Ishigaki Kebari as well, black body with olive hackle. Black or dark brown bodies work well, and you can get creative with the hackle. I have no problem with a like-styled fly, 'cause we are trying to keep it tenkara simple. You make the call. John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jburge 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2011 Just letting you guys know each day gets better and better! Arriving in today's mail was a beautiful set of fish-catching flies from flon18 (Justin), AND, all the way from New Brunswick, a splendid group from kbranch (Kevin). Thank you gentlemen! I'm gonna be grinning from ear to ear this summer whenever I break out this group. Wow! John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
