Teno 10

Teno 10

Teno 10 is one of my personal favorites of Erkki Vaalama’s Teno series. This particular one is tied pretty sparse, as it should be, it’s one of the few pattern that specifies number of fibers in the wing. Grey is an unusual floss body color in a salmon fly but together with the yellow and silver ribs look great and should be used in more patterns.
