The Renegade is a unique and effective attractor pattern known for its exceptional visibility and inherent fish-attracting "flash." This fly doesn't imitate any single natural insect but suggests a variety of targets, primarily as a general-purpose searching pattern in fast water. Its signature contrast of dark and light colors, combined with peacock herl, creates an irresistible, buggy appearance that consistently triggers aggressive, opportunistic strikes from trout in high-gradient streams and rivers.

Product Features
  • Flash Attractor: The body is made of peacock herl and a silver rib, which provide a natural shimmer and contrast that immediately catches a trout's eye in moving water.
  • High Visibility: Features contrasting white calf tail wings and a dark hackle for excellent angler visibility and a highly visible "buggy" profile that fish target readily.
  • Reliable Float: Tied with robust materials and stiff hackle, the Renegade floats high and proud, making it ideal for turbulent, oxygenated pocket water and fast currents.
  • Durable Construction: Expertly tied to withstand aggressive strikes and the demands of rough water.
  • Optimal Sizing: Available in a wide range of sizes #10, #12, #14, #16, and #18, covering ideal sizes for prospecting various water types. Hook type: Barbed.

When to Use the Renegade Dry Fly
The Renegade excels when you need a flashy, highly visible fly for fast water or when prospecting for active fish.
  • Fast Water & Pocket Water: The ideal environment for the Renegade is high-gradient streams and fast rivers where its buoyancy and visibility shine.
  • Searching Pattern: Use it primarily when there is no specific hatch occurring, but you want to cover water and find active fish.
  • High-Country Streams: A classic pattern for mountain streams where opportunistic trout readily take a general, flashy attractor.
  • General Terrestrial: It can often pass as a general imitation of a small beetle or ant that has fallen into the water.
HANDLE WITH CARE: Hooks are extremely sharp. Please handle with care to avoid injury.

NOTE: As these flies are hand-tied, slight variations in color and size may occur between batches.
