Tenkara Fly - Amano - Size 12

This is the only tenkara fly used by Mr. Katsutoshi Amano, a name readily recognized by tenkara practitioners in Japan. Like many tenkara masters, Mr. Amano sticks with one fly pattern. Same Size. Same Color. It's the only fly in his box. This fly comes alive when underwater, especially if pulsated.

Mr. Amano's favorite way to fish it is to cast slightly upstream and do a 4-count up and down motion following the fly downstream. He fishes it under the surface, and when the fly is pulled up its hackle opens up, when released the hackle closes.
