The Canary is a straightforward Carrie Stevens pattern that is a good pattern to get started in tying her style of streamer flies. I took the opportunity with this fly to do a supplemental tying video on how I process and assemble the wings for the Canary. Unfortunately, I was so focused on discussing the wings and how they are tied in while actually making the video that the head of this fly got away from me. Normally, the heads are not this long but it just goes to show that it is easy to make them to big or too small. Sometimes creating these tying videos is like trying to chew gum and walk at the same time.... you either bite your tongue or trip over your feet from time to time! -- Enjoy
