It's Tokyo Style

March 07, 2015

If you can't make up your mind at the front of rise, I recommend a "Elk hair caddis". It's a pretty versatile dry fly.

My favorite type is peacock herl body.
If you are tying beginner, I recommend thread body and no hackle pattern.

Pheasant tail red spinner is one of developed by Frank Sawyer who was the legendary river keeper in England.

After fly tying, I made extra stuff from empty quill.
Yes, it's the old-timer's fishing float! ;)

Hey trout anglers!

Are you ready?!

It was fly tying meeting (and whisky tasting) day! ;)

Mayfly or caddis? Nymph, pupa or adult?
Which fly do you like? ;)

Masterpiece.
