The Grave Digger Kebari is an October favorite for me. This is likely due to fall fishing offering so many hatch scenarios to the point where it's hard to pick the wrong fly on a good creek. However, this creek is probably one of more pressured systems in Utah. The fact I didn't have to match a hatch was truly impressive in my humble opinion. You can buy this fly through DRAGONtails website using my link in the description.
Another fun video. The Grave Digger is one of my “go to” flies. The DRAGONtail version is good quality, typical Kebari but the trout seem to like the little green flash. Keep em coming! Neil.
@@skiddyfishing yep. I like to go and just meditate and soak it in before fishing. Certain times of the year the left/north side where it splits has the right amount of water for fish to hang out.
@@TheRonin145 It just clicked that you are one of the guides. That's cool. I use the pheasant tail pretty much everywhere but I have a full line in my box with this fly though. I will have to use it in the spring and summer months this upcoming year.
There are two reasons for this: 1: probably 60% of my Tenkara audience isn’t in Utah 2: it’s a good practice to not hot spot. Most content creators choose not to mention the exact creek because it’s proven to upset more people than the alternative. 3….this is American Fork River. One of the few places ill gladly share. It’s pressured and you can see all the cars passing me. It’s got quite a few access points but just stay below Tibble Fork and you’ll get into them. I may include more spot locations in my WNTC travels this upcoming year.
@@skiddyfishing thank you for your comment and I understand your reasoning. I have just started using the 10 Cara Rod this summer and I’ve had incredible experiences. Often I’m catching too big of a fish and they break the line before I can get them on the rod for my tip, it is two weeks. I have also loved Fishing. The Tara rod on lakes because it’s easier for me to land bigger fish and I can get them on the rod bend quickly.
@jeffwells4974 I totally agree. Tenkara allows trout setting but in a more affective way which a western rod isn’t going to do as well and requires strip sets. What rod model are you using on the fish too big?

Thanks for the support Neil!
lol, the stretch you’re on at the start of the video is my favorite little spot on the river.
I agree! 4 fish in that run was a hoot!
I also love that rock wall. Feels like one of the few places that are truly solitary there.

@mwevre1876 that’s one of the few spots I need to try still. Ill have to go pay it a visit! Good luck in St George Mark. 🎣
Well done! I too love the gravedigger by DT! Trout really seem to take it fast and furiously!
I wonder if they think it’s a bait fish? I also noticed it seems to get hammered harder than other flies. Great observation, Mr. Genki! 😃
@@skiddyfishing could be, I just think it looks buggy! 😂 I like it bc it’s easy for me to see the white hackle! When it’s gone set the hook! 😁
@tenkaragenki haha makes sense. Either way it works even on this pressured creek.
Thx for another good video - enjoyed the Halloween theme. Keep up the great work!
🥹👻☠️🎃 thank you friend! Much appreciated!
Another pattern developed by Tenkara Guides LLC in Salt Lake City, UT
How cool! I bet they use the crap out of it in the later summer months.
We use it all year round
The original pattern used dubbing made from the fur of a Chesapeake Bay Retriever named Balou

@@skiddyfishing try the Red Assed Monkey too. It’s also one of our patterns
I just got these in the mail gonna try them out tomorrow
Atta boy! Report back! 🫡
What does wild stocked mean?
Can you reference the timestamp? I can’t recall saying it.
Is there a reason you don’t tell us where u are at? I’m local and would love to go to same locations to try spot and equipment.
