Tenkara Sorta
A tenkara inspired fly.
Tied on a #16 Kahle hook, the severe bends make it look very "buggish."
It's tied 'gujo kebari' style, with stuff hackle like a dry fly. Yellow floss and some black and white highlights give it a somewhat different appearance.

You're too kind, John.
Nice thing about these simple tenkara flies: just a little attention to detail and they look good.
Makes me seem like I know what I'm doing! LOL

Not firmly traditional, but follows the pattern.
