This is a sweet little pattern that you can get from Chris Stewart at tenkarabum.com. He runs an excellent site with seemingly unlimited information, product reviews, and essential items for tenkara. I caught my first fish on a tenkara rod using this pattern. It's super simple, but very effective. It's a hook, yarn, and copper wire. No thread! Oh and you can color it with a marker that comes with his killer bug kit. You get everything you need with it at a very good price. These are size 12 flies which seems to be the golden size for whatever reason. Try it out!
Hook: Standard nymph or scud hook
Thread: None
Yarn: Shetland's Spindrift (colored with a prismacolor marker, see link above)
Wire: Small copper
Tip!
Super glue is needed for the copper underbody or the materials will slide.
