Tools

So far, Dr. Slick seems like a good source of tools. I got their forceps, two different sized bobbins, whip finisher, and scissors.

Materials

I got Rooster Hackle from this ebay seller: https://www.ebay.com/itm/173753310809

I got soft partridge feathers from this seller: https://www.ebay.com/itm/115594764362?var=415610184108

When I need replacement hooks, try out the Mustad hooks.

When the Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift samples run out, try Semperfli Dirty Bug Yarn.

Patterns

Tenkara Flies

Tenkara flies are an enigma. Wide variations in Japanese regional patterns exist, yet the reknowned authority Dr. Ishigaki has used only one pattern for the past 10 years.
