Description

Many tenkara anglers in Japan favor larger tenkara flies, even for trout in mountain streams. With faster flowing waters, larger flies give fish a good opportunity to see it and the potential high calorie intake is too much for them to resist. Particularly effective in fast water, or when the bugs are bigger, this size of tenkara fly should be in every tenkara angler's fly box. The Oki Kebari (literally "Big Fly") is a pattern developed by Tenkara USA® founder, Daniel Galhardo. It combines several attributes from tenkara flies he's learned from different teachers: larger size, soft hackle and peacock herl collar on a barbless hook. The forward-facing hackle also ensures a very lively fly underwater. This tenkara fly can be a very effective "secret weapon". Sold in size 8. Three flies. All Tenkara USA® flies are tied on barbless hooks. 1% of the sale value of this item will be donated to conservation efforts.

Field Notes

Use the Oki Kebari as a larger tenkara fly when fish are feeding on bigger bugs or when you need a more visible silhouette in faster water. Cast upstream and let the soft-hackle, forward-facing fibers create a lively underwater presentation as the current moves it.

Pros

  • Larger profile helps fish locate the fly in faster water
  • Soft hackle and peacock herl collar add movement and attraction
  • Forward-facing hackle increases underwater liveliness
  • Barbless hook for easier, cleaner releases

Cons

  • Size 8 may be too big for very selective or low-activity fish
  • Best results depend on current speed and drift control
