George, well done. I have a love affair with the Renegade. It was the first fly I used when I learned to fly fish, and the only fly I used on high mountain backpack lakes trailed behind a clear bubble on a spinning outfit. The first day we ever fished my favorite spring creek, before understanding what lay below, we fished for hours with a variety of dry flies to the numerous feeding fish, and I finally caught one on a size #14 Renegade. Your pattern will go in my box as a probable hit for the South Fork Cutties. Thanks for sharing.
