Emerald Shanker | Steelhead Fly Tying

This is a great baitfish / minnow pattern for steelhead. Tied on a Partridge Waddington Shank this intruder and scandi inspired pattern can be tied in a few variations, but I prefer the unweighted and fished on a sink tip. A great Steelhead or smallmouth bass fly.
Here is a full tutorial with photos : hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatc...
Materials
25mm waddington shank
Z4 Intruder Hook - sz 4
Gold Kreninik
Green and black Arctic fox

Is there a reason you went with the 14lb Fireline over 30lb Fireline? 30lb seems to be the norm I always see.

[@KevinHospodar]

The 14lb is doubled over (so there are 2 loops). I've found it holds the hook in place (straight with the profile of the fly) better than a single loop of 30lb. But its all personal opinion

[@oldirtyshinobi]

Most guides tie with 60-80# spider or fireline.

Love the video. The sound track is distracting and makes it a bit difficult to hear you.

[@KevinHospodar]

Thanks for the feedback, I think I also need to speak louder/clearer
