Hi
I have been thinking about flies and terminology. How would you define a Sakasa Kebari or Kebari style fly and how does it differ from a Valsesiana style fly from Italy and how do they relate to spiders?
Any thoughts would be welcome.

They seem to have in common with sakasa kebari that the hackle is swept forward. There is an article by a Valsesian fisherman on Tenkarabum. This article, discusses the history of the style and refers to the manipulation of the flies. An important difference seems to be that like the old French style on the Ain, they normally use a team of 3 flies. www.flyfishinghistory.com/valsesia.htmOrangeotter has an image of an article about the flies elsewhere on this site |

When looking through my fly tying book I came across a section on Funnelduns, introduced by Neil Patterson in his book Chalkstream Chronicle. They also have the hackle tied forward and float upside down. I assume these are the same? As parachute adams has been a great general fly for me I thought I would tie some in this style to see how it does.
