The Renegade is a reliable pattern that mimics midge behavior well. I’ve used it in several trout streams and caught several fish on it during a recent trip. The peacock herl gives it a natural look that stands out in the water.

This fly performs well in early spring when midge activity increases. It’s easy to tie and matches the natural behavior of mating midges. I noticed trout reacting to it even in low visibility conditions.

I’ve fished with the Renegade for over a year and it remains one of my go-to patterns. It’s especially effective when the water is calm and midge clusters are visible.
