I am corresponding with Max, a Japanese friend of Tony Spezio. Max is a Japanese bamboo fly rod maker. I wanted to give him some SAAP body fur streamers in return for a favor he is doing for me, so I looked up trout sites in Japan to find the coloration of typical baitfish and trout fry there.
Wow. Did I ever find a neat site! This one is by 54-year old Yoshikazu Fujioka, an exhibition display designer, artist, and avid trout fisher.
