Dr. Hisao Ishigaki is a professor of the Faculty of Management and Information Sciences at the Aichi Institute of Technology and is considered to be one of the current leading authorities on Tenkara in Japan. This pattern that bears his name is reportedly the only fly that Dr. Ishigaki has fished with for over a decade. This simple design made only of silk thread and reverse tied hackle can be fished as a dry fly, emerger or as a wet fly fully supporting the Tenkara credo of simplicity. Dr. Ishigaki has tied variations of his basic Tenkara pattern by changing thread color and hackle choice as well as hook size. We have imitated the various Ishigaki style flies we could find creating a short and simple assortment of colors and hackle variations to allow for the variation of regional hatches. All color variations are available tied on high quality Gamakatsu C12-B hooks in sizes 12-14-16. The C-12-B has a red finish that adds considerably to the way this pattern fishes. Red hooks attract fish, it is as simple as that.
