    Even though it's a cripple, this one worked for me:



    Here's the video by someone who knows a thing or two about them.

    Craig Mathews also has an emerger video that may work for you (I don't have any 1st hand experience)

    I can think of few acts more selfish than refusing a vaccination.

    That 2nd one is pretty cool. I hate foam though. I bet a guy could substitute some CDC and it would work good.

    I forgot Wally's Purple Haze, which is similar to Mr. Mathews foam emerger:

    I would think you could easily sub CDC for the foam, but think of all those ducks with frozen fannies.

    What's the difference between a Klinkhamer and a parachute emerger? Just size, and the fact that they were designed to imitate caddis?
