Woke up to some nice fluffy white stuff, which for us Steelhead Junkies means its time for our beloved Intruder to go for a swim.
Basically the "Intruder" is just a big fly that is meant to bring out the aggression in a fish. Since fish don't have fists to punch with, they resort to eating/biting the fly. There are hundreds of intruder patterns out there, each pattern is different, usually tied with specific fish and water in mind, but typically they are noticeably larger than traditional flies
If you have never taken a Steelhead or Salmon on a Intruder pattern it is worth trying it out, the hits/takes are often extremely aggressive and explosive and will leave you speechless with mass amounts of adrenaline pumping through your veins.
Here are several intruders that I call "Wintruders" I usually tie up a couple in different colours just in case the fish are picky.
Purple Wintruder
Black Wintruder (a favourite of mine, works very well in stormy weather)
Pink Wintruder
Hope you enjoyed the post, handle intruders with care, they can be very addictive to fish and tie, and because of their size and weight they can really hurt if you hit yourself with one on a cast............
