Kiyotaki 27

Just wanted to say once again, Kiyotaki 27 YES! Soft tip, responsive, handles small to medium fish with ease and even ticks when a mosquito fish hits it. I caught this one on a size 12 kebari with black thread body and white rooster hackle. Just for dressing I put some peacock hurl behind the hackle to keep the little guys from gulping it down.

As age slows my pace, I will become more like the heron.

We've all had situations where seriously chewed up flies kept catching fish after fish after fish. It is no sin to tie flies that come off the vise looking seriously chewed up.
