**Post:** Speaking of the Renegade - How does do each of you use it? As a Dry or wet fly? I have used it only as a dry fly. But I tied up some with soft hackle for wets this last year but have not fished them. dB clean, inspect, dry disinfect your wading equipment. wash boat. disinfect livewells / sumps, wash ur dog I mostly use it as a dropper off a larger like Wooley. I do use little tiny ones as dry in the Uinta’s. They love those little guys. ---

I use it as a dropper off a bugger or another nymph. ---

[reply] A renegade is a must have. It is suppose to imitate a snail. There are snails everywhere and so that and a Prince Nymph is my go to flies on a lot of waters. [/reply] FG. when you use it as a wet fly or a nymph: Your picture and the other picture of the renegade in this thread shows them tied with dry fly hackle. Is that what you use or do you use a hen feather for a softer webber hackling? ---

I use that 100’s hackle. It works well either way. I do put a red tag as well as the gold one when I tie mine. Red tag works pretty good as a nymph. ---

**🕶Hey there Scruffy\_Fly I don’t have a single Renegade to my name. I guess that I am going to have to tie a few so that I don’t feel like an orphan. Don’t think that it will replace my go to fly which is a Royal Wulff. However, nothing ventured nothing gained.[;)]** ---

DryRod, Royal Wulffs have been a good fly for me. Try it with a chartruese floss also. One of nice things about the Renegade is that it is an easy tie. A lot easier and some what quicker tie than the RW. ---

I have the renegades now.. picked up 3 or 4 in sizes 12 - 16 today at the Fred Hall show.. cost me .50 each so I think I got myself a good bargain.. now all I have to do is get on the wate to try them out… MacFly 🕶 [Previous page](https://forum.bigfishtackle.com/t/getting-the-young-started/97279.md?page=1)
