Utrera's Glow Loop Emerger
I’ve admired Lucas Utrera’s work for quite some time, and when I came across his Glow Loop Emerger recently, it stopped me in my tracks. When I reached out to Lucas for some insight on the pattern, he was exceedingly warm and encouraging. If you love beautiful and precise tying, he’s a fantastic follow!
The Limited Edition Renomed Super Stinger Scissors really came in handy on this fly. Paired with the FT1 Fly Tying Tweezers, it’s the perfect tool kit for precision tying. Renomed is supporting this video (and a few more over the next few months), and I couldn’t be happier about it! Their tools are the ones I actually tie with day in and day out.
