Our Tying Tenkara Flies Vol. 1 DVD features Dr. Ishigaki, Chris Stewart and Daniel Galhardo tying 17 different patterns. Some people are calling Tying Tenkara Flies the best fly-tying DVD ever produced -- and we agree!
Buy or tie the Punk Rock Sakasa Kebari, the signature fly of LearnTenkara.com's editor, Ashley Valentine.

Very nice ties Ashley. I still find it hard to comprehend how such small flies can be tied and catch fish.
Thanks, Kiwi! That means a lot coming from you.

i love those colors , your ties are so beautiful …there so tiny!!
Thanks, Michaela!
Ashley where did you find the curved # 32 hooks , I want some !
Hi Darcy. The hooks we have here are Gamakatsu Executive Series C-12-BM. “Barbless Midge/Large Eye.” Amazon. com has them down to Size 30 — maybe they are out of the Size 32? Actually, I have the Size 30 here as well, and to the naked eye they look the same.
Ashley , thanks for the info , Actually I figured it out and have some on the way . Best deal is at Bearsden Fly Shop and they only charge actual
shipping cost . . . . . Darcy
Hey! With all the comments on killer kebari and sizes i don’t see sizes #6 or #26 displayed?! What size hook actually is closest to a real midge?
