Hare's Ear Sakasa Kebari - Tenkara Fly Tying Video

The Hare's Ear Kebari is a very popular selling fly so we wanted to show you how to tie your own. This version is a bit different than the one we offer on our store but it is how I like to tie this very effective tenkara fly. Hope you enjoy.

Fly Tying Recipe Materials List:

• Moonlit ML251 #12 barbless fly tying hook (the ML251 hook works great too)
• Black thread in a thicker size to build the head, and green thread in a smaller size 12/0 to tie in small behind the peacock thorax to keep it hidden- Semperfli Classic Waxed Thread
• Vicuna Dubbing in the color Hare's Ear SUB (regular hare's ear dubbing will work fine as well but it is not as buggy)
• Semperfli Micro Metal in Antique Gold color (gold wire will work as well)
• Peacock Herl
• Hen hackle (or hen pheasant, partridge, or other soft hackle feathers)
• My favorite Whip Finish tool: Stonfo Whip Finisher

The original fly we sell on our website uses partridge hackle but I like to use a speckled brown hackle for this fly personally. 

This is a simple effective soft hackle tenkara fly that should work good especially for 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.
