Description
A versatile and VERY effective micro intruder pattern for trout. In fact, if I were limited to one trout spey intruder pattern, this would be it. It makes for a great baitfish imitation when swung during the fall and winter months when water conditions are a little high and/or off color. One of my largest fish was caught on this fly during off color and high water on the lower McKenzie River during the winter.
Each fly is hand tied by me and is tied intruder style with a trailing #6 or 8 sized stinger hook specifically for trout.
Fish this fly on your 3-5wt trout spey rod when there’s nothing present on the surface – an especially effective pattern in the off season attached to a sinking poly or versaleader . Tie this on and prepare for potential vicious hook ups with larger fish at the end of your wet fly swing.
As an early season fly, it can imitate a drowned golden stone salmon fly so this is an effective pattern to fish if salmon flies are present.
