Ishigaki Kebari - Black/Brown
SKU:
From the Tenkara website. This fly was requested by a customer:
Is the Ishigaki Fly the
Only Fly You Need?
"The Ishigaki fly, or Ishigaki Kebari, is my name for the only fly pattern that Dr. Ishigaki, one of Japan's foremost tenkara experts, has used for the past ten years. I don't know what he calls it. I seriously doubt he would name a fly after himself, but I think it is only fitting that we do so.
In May 2009 Dr. Ishigaki gave a slide presentation and on-stream demonstration of tenkara at the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum. His visit seems to have kicked off the interest in tenkara in the US. In an interview after the presentation, he said that what he likes about tenkara is the simplicity.
He definitely takes that appreciation for simplicity to his choice of flies. Years ago he ran out of his favorite fly and went to a fly shop to get replacements. He saw this extremely simple fly, bought it, and found that he caught just as many fish with it as he did with his favorite.
From that experience, he came to the conclusion that the choice of fly is not the most important factor in catching fish, the technique is. And from then on, he has fished this one simple fly - the Ishigaki Kebari. This simple fly allows one to fish with many different techniques."
