Kebari Fly – Solitude
Tenkara fishing, which originated in Japan, has been increasing in popularity over the last 5 years or so. The Kebari is an old pattern specifically designed for this style of fishing.
With floatant applied, the reverse hackle helps this pattern dance along the surface in a tantalizing manner. Additionally, one can allow the body of the fly to sink slightly into the water, keeping the hackle just on the surface, much like a dandelion pattern.

The Kebari works beautifully in light surface conditions. The reverse hackle creates a natural floating action that attracts fish. I’ve used it in early morning streams and saw several bites. Easy to tie and matches well with floatant.

This fly performs well on still waters. The slight sinking of the body keeps it realistic, and the hackle movement is very lifelike. A great addition to my tenkara kit.

I’ve tried several surface patterns, and the Kebari stands out. It dances nicely on the water and responds well to floatant. Highly recommended for tenkara anglers.
