Well, here's the fly i came up with a few weeks ago after reading the Renegade post from earlier.

It's a size 4 streamer hook, an Eagle Claw LO58S-4 to be exact.

Strong black thread.

Bright orange sparkle yarn for the tag.

Brown wet hackle back aft then the dark brown ice chenille in the large size.

White wet hackle forward then a few dozen turns of thread to form the head.

I double whip finish and then several coats of head cement.

So far i've caught lmb, steelhead 'half pounders', raised a steelhead about 5lbs but no joy
plus bluegill like it but need to grow to get their lips around it.

The tye in the picture is designedf to sink fairly quick, what with the wet hackle and the
size and type hook. I've also tied some with good quality dry hackle but i like the wets
more, though i'll carry a dry or two in case i want a slow sinker or one that's nuetral bouyancy.
On the swing for steel i'm thinking this Renegade is going to be a good fly and i can't wait to
show it to the smallies. Thinking i'll go over the 4 lb. mark with this one when i use the fast sinker.

Cheers,
