The Renegade is a true classic—one of the most enduring attractor patterns in fly fishing history. Its unique combination of peacock herl body, brown and white hackles, and simple construction gives it a distinctive profile and shimmer that imitates a wide range of insects. Depending on how it’s fished, the Renegade can represent midges, mayfly spinners, or even drowned terrestrials, making it an incredibly versatile all-around trout pattern.
Lightly dressed and buoyant, the Renegade can be fished dry on the surface, greased to ride high, or allowed to sink just below the film where its peacock herl glows enticingly. It’s a proven performer on both moving and still waters and remains a staple for anglers who appreciate patterns that consistently get results in any season.
Best for:
- Trout feeding on midges, spinners, or general attractors
- Clear or lightly stained water in rivers, creeks, and stillwaters
- Dry, film, or soft-hackle-style presentations
📌 Pro Tip: For a subtle emerger presentation, fish the Renegade on a greased leader and let it hang in the surface film. Trout often take it confidently as a crippled midge or drowned adult.
