Grave Digger Sakasa Kebari Tenkara Fly Tying Pattern

How to tie a Grave Digger Kebari fly pattern. This is a fantastic tenkara fly created by the guys at Tenkara Guides LLC during the early years of tenkara taking off in the USA. It was one of my early favorite tenkara flies to fish as I was getting into tenkara and is still a fly I love to use, very effective for trout and warm water fish. Below is a video of my take on tying this wonderful fly.

Fly Tying Recipe Materials List:

• Moonlit ML061 #10 (or #12) barbless fly tying hook
• Fluoro Green thread & Purple thread - Semperfli Classic Waxed Thread
• Jamieson's Shetland Spindrift Yarn in Purple Haze color
• Vicunna Dubbing in Pebble color (original used dog hair)
• Partridge hackle
• My favorite Whip Finish tool: Stonfo Whip Finisher

This is a very effective soft hackle tenkara fly that should work on all waters and most species of fish, especially trout in mountain creeks & streams. This fly is meant to be fished as a wet fly (sub-surface).

It is a very basic fly to tie.
