Thread: UNI Thread 8/0, Olive
Body: 2mm foam, Black over Orange, Dubbing, Olive
Hackle: Rooster Saddle, Grizzly & Orange Grizzly

Here is the latest Remnant fly. This one is #14 and a Ant or Grass Hopper type of fly. This one started with the foam first and then the hook. They started me thinking about a Ant type fly or something like a hopper, thinking of the terrestrial season and the types of flies that we throw then. Rather than throwing in some rubber legs I thought it would be interesting to collar some hackle for the legs. Overall, it was a fun fly, I look forward to giving it a cast or two this summer when the terrestrial flies are in full swing. - - Enjoy

As I continue the Remnant fly series this and all future Remnant flies will be only on Locals (the Dressed Irons Guild) for those who support the community. After a year (or so) of being on the Guild community I will then publish them to everyone on YouTube. Exclusive content is one small way to thank those who support the Dressed Irons Guild Community.
