Here is the latest Remnant fly. This one is #18 and a freestyle Wet fly (again). Apparently, I forgot that the last Remnant Fly was a "freestyle wet fly". Surprise, surprise, I have wet flies on my mind!! All joking aside, I think this is a pretty interesting pattern. We are moving into the fall streamer season and I think this color and material combination will be an effective fly when the fish are focusing on baitfish. It was a fun fly to tie. If I were to tie up some more there are a few steps I would modify but all in all I think it turned out to be a nice fly, especially for being made of left over materials! - - Enjoy
