Here's an old unfinished post I found in my "drafts" folder of some sakasa kebari I tied with different hackles. As I remember I really liked the golden plover hackle - it's very supple and has a nice combination of colors. The waterhen was good too. I'm not sure what else I wanted to say when I started this post so long ago, but the photos aren't bad:

Is the smallie fly to suggest a crawdad?
ReplyDeleteHi Paul, it's not meant to specifically suggest a crawdad, but it definitely could if fished quickly with a pulsating motion - but really it's just a big yellow and green sakasa kebari. It could also suggest a small frog or a number of other things. It worked pretty well for river smallies in MA :)
