Tenkara Stylie P & Y

[Englander]

Hi Guys

Seeing a partridge and yellow was my best dropper on the river last season, i decided to try it Tenkara stlyie

Not sure how true to the stlye they are i.e hackle length ? or indeed density ?

I normally tie my P & Y pretty sparse, all the Tenkara ive seen seem pretty heavily hackled ?

its a traditional japanese way of tying them, you can gink them up and fish them dry or leave them untreated to to fish wet tenkara is the traditional japanes way of fly fishing, you only use line rod and fly no reel is involved, fishing in its simplest and purest form
