Thanks for the pics -- nice tyes.

Do you have a recipe for that "renegade"? Looks like a nice fly.

Thanks,
Dan

The one pictured was tied on a #16 hook (TMC SP-BL100). It's black
thread, a gold tinsel tag, brown rear hackle, peacock body (wrapped in a
"rope" around the thread for durability) and creme front hackle.

Not really a lot to it. It fishes as a dry, and still works even
when it starts to sink slightly. There's even a wet fly version of the
renegade, IIRC.

Howdy,

Even though my trip to Graham County, NC is 3 months away, I've been
spending a fair amount of time at the vise. While I was watching
basketball yesterday, I figured I'd get my little Optio S40 out and take
some photos so y'all can see exactly how good the macro setting is on my
camera. :-)

Hi Chuck,
Thanks for the pics. At a casual glance I suspect the Secret Weapon and
the Yellow Soft Hackle pattern might be "sneaky" effective. (allowing for
variations of colors) And probably as a dropper. But I haven't fished that
part of the US in many years.
Have fun.

(an aside, I'd use a little sparser hackle for the the right coast guys. I
use heavier sometimes for the Rocky Mountain areas. But I catch most of my
fishes with sometimes a sparser hackle)
