This Remnant fly turned out very well. I actually thought of this one while doing some other fly tying tasks and thought it would make a great remnant fly. It is basically a Woolly Bugger and a Zonker combined. I am thinking I am not the first person to come up with this idea. However, I am excited about fishing this one this spring and summer as I think it will make a great Emerald Shine imitation and do well with the Smallmouth here in the Midwest. I am already thinking of some variations and different styles to experiment with this season. - - Enjoy

As I continue the Remnant fly series I will have a #13 fly out in a couple weeks and it and all future Remnant flies will be only on Locals 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.

If you have any questions about the tying of this fly feel free to let me know in the comments below.
