Tying Tenkara Flies DVD
LearnTenkara's new Tying Tenkara Flies DVD is the first DVD to show you how to tie tenkara flies. This DVD will walk you through the tying process step by step. Whether you are a "one fly" angler or like to tie and fish different flies (17 patterns are included in the 2.5 hour video), the DVD has something for everyone.

More than that, though, the Tying Tenkara Flies DVD explains why the Sakasasa Kebari flies look the way they do, tells you how to fish each fly and also shows a "fish's eye view" of flies under water. You can see for yourself how dry fly hackle, partridge, pheasant and starling hackle all move when the fly is manipulated. You'll also see fish being caught by Dr. Ishigaki, Daniel Galhardo and myself on flies tied in the video.
Professionally shot and edited, this is probably one on the best fly tying DVDs from a production standpoint you'll ever see. Modesty prevents me from saying it is the best from a tying standpoint (I tie most of the flies on the video, with other flies tied by Dr. Ishigaki, Daniel Galhardo, Erik Ostrander and Rob Worthing of Tenkara Guides, and Dennis Galyardt).

The Tying Tenkara Flies DVD also shows very interesting variations on a theme. Dr. Ishigaki, Daniel Galhardo and I each tie the Ishigaki Kebari - and we each tie it a little differently. The variation extends to Killer Bugs. I tie my version of Frank Sawyer's legendary fly (which catches more fish for me than any other fly). Erik Ostrander and Rob Worthing tie their modifications - Erik ties a Utah Killer Kebari and Rob ties a Utah Killer Bug. And these Killer Bug variations are some of their most productive flies as well!
And, of course, a fly tying video brought out by LearnTenkara would have to include a fly designed by LearnTenkara's Ashley Valentine. The Punk Rock Sakasa Kebari may look and sound a little funky, but fishing this fly on the Gibbon River in Yellowstone was the only time I ever outfished Dr. Ishigaki and Daniel Galhardo combined!

Tenkara Fly Tying Kits
I've put together kits for several of the flies featured in the Tying Tenkara Flies DVD. Each kit includes all the materials you will need to tie 25 flies of one particular pattern. This is a radically different approach than most fly tying kits, which seem to have a little bit of a lot of different materials - most of it low quality and most of which you would never use. These kits provide good quality materials (the same materials I use for tying my own flies) and premium Daiichi hooks.
Each kit is for one pattern only, a nod to those anglers who wish to try a "one fly" approach, or to those who wish to try a new pattern without having to buy a whole bird skin or enough yarn to knit a sweater.
The following kits are available:
Payment
Payment is through PayPal but you don't need to have a PayPal account. You can use your credit card. PayPal payments will be made to chris at tenkarabum dot com. Credit card statements will read CM Stewart.
Shipping
Domestic US shipping is free if purchased separately. Purchases that include other items as well as the DVD will carry the standard shipping rates for those items.
International shipping costs are higher, so for international shipments, please click on the button above.
