This month we'll be tying the renegade fly! Renegade is a fly that epitomizes versatility - it can be fly fished dry as a mating midge or whatever is fluttering around, or it can be fished as a wet fly in lakes or swung across your favorite trout stream or river. The iridescent peacock body of this favorite trout fly attracts attention, and the two hackles provide buoyancy and the impression of movement that fish can't resist.
