Episode 16 Kai
I met Kai at the 2012 Tenkara USA Summit in Salt Lake City, UT. I’ve remained friends with him since and I appreciate his easy going approach to tenkara and fly fishing.

Kai mentions fishing mouse patterns and specifically the Splat Rat mouse pattern. Here’s a link to a video of the pattern’s originator tying it –>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWkNbgPGFRY

Here’s a photo that kai sent me of the Splat Rat in action

The idea behind the Flyside Chats

After 2020 I’ve been feeling a bit disconnected from people that I know in the fly fishing world. I’m not the most social of anglers and I do a lot of fishing by myself. But there are a few folks that I get out with and I didn’t get to see most of them in 2020. I didn’t make any trips out of state and I didn’t get out nearly as much as I would have liked to.

So it is with some optimism I am looking forward to 2021 and the fishing that comes with it. Flyside Chats is a going to be series of videos where I try to reconnect with some tenkara and fly fishing folks that I know and hopefully with some new people too. I want to talk to people about what they’re looking forward to exploring in the season(s) ahead.
