Bravo Alan. Beautiful fly. I love the curve of the hook, and lively hackle.

Alan, Very nice fly. Did you get the Bozzolo silk? It's really hard to source here. Finally got some from a shop in Canada. The similarity between some of the Japanese Kebari and the Valsesiana flies is remarkable, yet developed half a world apart.

Your right on the availability of those Italian silks. I was able to get the orange and purple.Ron Eagle Elk wrote: ↑Mon Feb 07, 2022 7:39 am Alan, Very nice fly. Did you get the Bozzolo silk?

The two styles of fly Tenkara and Valsesiana are a tribute to simplicity and effectiveness.
