Killer Kebari
This is the fly that got attention at the pond, today. The water is really low and nothing new is going on... Summer is well on and the fish are "stressed." Noisy surface bugs had no effect, and I observed no top water activity. So I switched to buggy floater-sinkers.
Few flies fit this bill like tenkara-style "kebari." These simple flies land gently and remain in the surface film for 30 seconds or so. If no risers grab it, then it slowly sinks and acts like a wet fly/nymph. I got some surface swipes, but the serious takes happened beneath the water.
This was the first time I'd wet a line since my dad's passing. If I can just get my lazy butt up to the lake, I might do some good with the more competitive fish found there.

Nice buggy fly Scruff. What did you use for the hackle? Pheasant "almond" feathers?
