Wyoming Renegade

Wyoming Renegade

A Western variation of the classic Renegade, the Wyoming Renegade is a highly visible attractor dry fly designed for rough water, mountain streams, and aggressive trout. Tied on a longer shank hook for improved floatation and profile, this pattern rides high on the water and remains easy to track in fast or choppy currents.

Featuring grizzly hackle, a bright red tail, and elk hair accents, the Wyoming Renegade combines classic attractor elements with enhanced visibility and buoyancy, making it an excellent searching pattern across a wide range of trout waters.

A longtime favorite among Western anglers, the Wyoming Renegade continues to prove itself as an outstanding searching pattern for aggressive trout in fast-moving water.

Its buggy silhouette and durable construction make it especially effective in freestone rivers, riffles, pocket water, and smaller mountain streams where trout feed opportunistically near the surface.
