Canopy Emergers Technique / Charles Barker

[chugbug27 0]

Click-baited 🙄 a video this morning on the canopy emerger, a technique (and video) by a guy I've not heard of before, Charles Barker, which technique is basically adding some tinsel inside thin tubing to tie an emerging wing that both floats the fly and adds sparkle. Not the most graceful tyer out there or video technician, but he does that well enough, his research is superb, and he ends up with a top notch presentation. I hope he puts out a book sometime.

Yada yada yada 🥱

Anyway, here's the video.
