Cooper Landing Fishing Guide are you using resin to lock them in ? I know with dumbbell eyes I use just super glue but with the stick on eyes it would be nice to know how you do them
Like the use of "common materials" that most fly tyers already have. Nice and clean that looks like it will provide a lot of movement. Thanks for posting. BRAVO ZULU
You tie clean and precise. Excellent work and other comments show there’s excellent tiers out there. Words like profile, sparseness, density, buggy ,wiggle etc indicate knowledge of fishing and how to incorporate these qualities into an offering.💪🤙🤝
Just starting on intruders, I appreciated your detailed instruction and also as others have said the use of common materials that I have in my kit. Going to use on the American River, California.
Very nice looking fly! I'll definitely give that one a try. I've got a box of size #6 hook octopus hooks that I think I might use. Looking forward to fishing this on the Yakima this year. Looks like a great sculpin imitation.
For sure! And with those #6 hooks, you could certainly tie a smaller version of this fly and definitely shorten up the tail quite a bit. I can't wait to hear how they do for you! Thank you so much for watching and the kind words!
Looks like a great fly. Have you tried using a slightly stronger/bigger front shoulder to give it slightly more of an umbrella shape thereby increasing the profile and apparent size? None of this may be necessary if this works. :) You’ve clearly got more river time that I do. I’m just curious about the bigger size. The intruder’s whole point is a large presence with apparent translucence. This may be more a big deal for Steelies and not trout. Thanks for sharing. I’m going to tie up some of your patterns and see how these Colorado trout like them. Make it a great day.
Thanks for watching! The mallard gives it a stiff prop and shoulder for the pheasant marabou head and the body chenile also acts as a prop, imcreasing the profile as well :) The goal with most intruders is profile/size without all.the bully tying materials. I've found this pattern to be just the right amount of "size" and profile without needing to add much more. Thanks again!
Very well presented Dave! Good camera angles, clear images, well tied with calm, detailed instructions - great stuff!! Liked and Sub'd! I fish the local warm-water watersheds and this will be a great fly for smallmouth bass. Thanks for posting! Hank
I’m curious about your trailer wire. In some of your other flies you use 65# PowerPro but in this one you use Intruder Wire. Any particular reason fir that? Also, have you had issues with the intruder wire breaking?
Hey Chris! For some flies I really prefer the wire (never had it brrsk), for others I use the power pro simply as an alternative. Overall, I mainly try to show a variety of materials to use for trailer material in case folks don't have access to one over the other. I prefer wire for most intruder style flies and braid for articulated flies.
Thank you everyone for checking out our latest twist on an intruder for trout spey. It really means a lot!
Do you ever put eyes on these? Or will they just get ripped off during a skagit cast?
@@Belbivdevoe Absolutely, eyes do quite well on most flies with skagit casts :)

That is a brilliant colour combo for brown trout. Beautifully proportioned too.
Thank you so much Peter and thank you for watching :) These are quickly becoming some of my favorites!

Thank you so much Mark for such kind words! Thank you for watching as well! Definitely let me know how they fish for you!
Really nice proportions. Not like many Christmas trees.
LOL love it! Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words!
That is a beautiful fly, going to tie up a few right now in its honor for deployment on the Flathead River
That sounds awesome! I'm glad you like it!
Nice tie, will try a few for my upcoming trip to the Tongariro River. Thanks from down under in New Zealand.
That's awesome! Definitely let me know how they do!
Good stuff. Need to tie some of these for some trouts. 👍🏻
Thanks John! We just took this one swimming today and landed 4, so we are loving it! Thank you again for watching!
Excellent!!!
I was wondering what flies I should tie with my size 6 circle hooks, now I know. Thank you.
Absolutely my pleasure! Thank you for watching a d definitely let me know how they do for you!
Very nice fly....I must resist the urge to put hackles on it lol
Thank you so much! I am right there with you! Thank you again for checking this one out :)
It does seem to begging for a little buggy hackle...or perhaps a six to eight strands of rhea. :)

Im going to have to tie a few of these for the Russian river, counting the days to 11JUN!
That sounds great Matt! They should do well there :)
good job tankiou
Thank you so much!
Is this fly good for speckled trout?
For sure Josh! I actually used a version of this on speckled trout this past winter and did quite well :)
Nice
Thank you so much Craig!
fishermen, what does this bait imitate? tell me
This could look like a bait fish, or young trout or salmon or large "bug"
Thank you! The main thing in bait is the result. If he catches it, then everything is fine🤝
