Paul Gaskell

Functional Fly Advocate

John has created an awesome step-by-step explanation of how to tie (and why to use) our "go anywhere" collection of functional kebari that we have discovered through our time spent with Japan's most accomplished tenkara anglers

  • Delivered as 20 clear video & text lessons with John Pearson, you'll benefit from all our research trips to Japan (without having to stretch to 5 years' worth of plane tickets)
  • Our ability to peek inside the fly boxes of incredibly accomplished anglers - and their generous answers to our interrogations (!!) has massively increased our on-stream success at home & abroad
  • PLUS the patterns are arranged into functional groupings (as well as having the 3 fundamental color-choices explained) so that you have a strategy for choosing each fly when you find yourself on stream...

Quick-view Highlights

76-minute "Start-to-Finish" 12 Patterns Training Video 

Takes you through all of the functional groups and reveals how to tie and apply each of the 12 fundamental patterns

13 bite-size separate lessons (breaking down the main video)

Accompanied by written recipes and illustrative photos, each fly pattern from the main video is shown step-by-step in its own lesson

18-minute "Zero to Hero" Beginners' Video

18 minutes to help transform yourself from non-fly tier into someone who can create and fish with your own hand-made (and personally-customised) kebari

Bonus Patterns Collated from our "Kebari in Focus" & "Tying Secrets" Series

Collated in one place all episodes of two mini-series covering secrets to easily improve your tying Plus bonus special patterns to try out & add to your box 


None of these patterns are "born in the vise": they have all earned their place by working on-stream in the presentation roles for which they were designed

Whether it is anchoring a stiff-hackle wet fly in an opposing current, using a soft, reverse-hackle fly to catch downstream current-drift, pulsing a swept-back hackle or using a weighted fly for "Honryu" Tenkara, this selection has you covered


The flies in this selection have given us so many unforgettable experiences - and is a great way to cover tons of bases in a very compact selection when travelling to new rivers when the chance arises

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I access the course?

As soon as the one-time payment is confirmed, your login credentials will be emailed to you at your chosen address (you can change your password and email details after your first login). On your first login after enrolling, your details will be pre-entered for you - but do make sure you file your login details email where you can find it in future!

Is my purchase protected?

We only want you to be a satisfied customer - so if for whatever reason you find that the course isn't for you - just email me (Paul) on paul@fishingdiscoveries.com for a prompt and polite refund of your full purchase amount.

In exactly what formats are my course materials supplied?

The course is taught entirely online. You gain access to your own exclusive website "members' area" which contains video, text and static images that explain the tactics and show them in use in real fishing situations. 

Who is this course for?

Obviously we would consider it essential for keen tenkara anglers. However, when you're fishing with regular fly rod & reel we also think you'd be missing a trick by not carrying at least some of these flies (I know of at least one fly fishing competition won using one of the "Honryu" kebari patterns in this course)
