Here is the latest Remnant fly, first published on Locals on July 7, 2023. This one is #16 and a Caddis type of fly.
This remnant fly started out with the curved caddis hook which sent me down the path of some sort of caddis nymph. After finding the bright orange bead I decided to tie some sort of bright attractor pattern and the rest followed. I like the Chartreuse Ostrich herl but looking back I am thinking it might have been better with a Black herl instead; more contrast. I know it will catch some panfish but it will be interesting the next time I am out trout fishing to bounce this around and see if I can get a trout to commit. - - Enjoy
As I continue the Remnant fly series I will have a #12 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 KZbin. Exclusive content is one small way to thank those who support the Dressed Irons Guild Community.

That is a very good-looking nymph pattern. The "hot spot" bead, I believe, will make it a killer. That gold oval tinsel is a nice touch. Thanks for sharing this great video.

You are welcome, thank you for the feedback, it is very much appreciated. As a panfish fly I know this one will be a productive fly but I think it would work well as a trout nymph also. - Ian Anderson

[@chrisbukowski9434]

Very nice will give it a try

[@DressedIrons]

Thank you, this one turned out pretty nice. Lots of options for changing this on up a little. - Ian Anderson

[@jamesvatter5729]

It definitely should slay the panfish, Ian. I have tied a similar one with a tuft of ostrich fibers as tails, a twisted yarn abdomen, two centipede legs bluegill, dark ostrich herl collar, and a white plastic craft bead head. They worked great on early season bluegills.

Thank you for the comment! I had thought of putting in some rubber/Sili legs once the fly was done. Sounds like they would be a positive addition! - Ian Anderson
