It’s been a while since we’ve checked in on what Adam Rieger has been tying over on his YouTube channel, Fly Anorak. Adam’s always been a friend to Tenkara Angler, providing us both video and written content in the past, so we were happy to see some kebari patterns posted to his video lineup. If you’re looking for some patterns to tie to fill up that fly box, don’t hesitate to give these three recipes a go.
Chris Stewart’s Killer Kebari
M&M (Moose Mane) Kebari
Winter Brown Reverse Hackle
While those are some of the more recent kebari, Adam’s channel has many more entries where he ties wet flies, dry flies, traditional streamers, and even some nymphs. His YouTube channel is definitely worth subscribing to, if you have not already.

Michael,
Thanks for continuing to spark my interest for tenkara fishing and tying (which is hard to do in SW Florida.
I recently viewed a video on tying the Go-San Red Head Kebari.I am not familiar with some of the materials used to tie the fly. Would you please share the material list (especially the dubbing, so that i could tie this beautiful and effective pattern.
Thank you so much,
Gene
Per Adam Rieger (Go-San Red Head Kebari):
Hook: Size 12 short shank scud hook but you can vary
Thread: Red
Tag: Red thread
Dubbing: Orange Seal fur (any seal substitute will work – my favorite is Angora goat)
Hackle: Brown rooster cape sized a bit bigger.
For these type of flies I like a longer and bushier hackle rather than a high-end saddle that one measures for the hook size.
