This remnant fly started out as a "Clouser" style fly but ended up as more of a "dredger" style pattern. The experiment on this one was the ribbon material used for the palmered hackle. It did not turn out quite like I thought it would but I think it will work for a fly that is to be slowly crawled along the bottom. As mentioned in the video, the Remnant Flies are more about experimentation and trying something new. There in lies the fun. I will definitely be fishing this on this summer. - Enjoy

The latest videos in the Remnant fly series are available to supporters of the Dressed Irons Guild on Locals ( https://diflytying.locals.com/ ) as an added bonus for for supporting Dressed Irons. There are a few Remnant fly videos that are public when I started this series, including the Introduction video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9J7SEcDlEME. ). When a new Remnant fly video is produced it is on locals for a year and then I will publish is for the general public. They are some interesting and fun flies that hopefully will ignite some creativity while you are at the vise.
