Hello fellow intruder fly tiers,
I just wanted to thank everyone who came out to the store last Wednesday for the annual Pacific Angler Intruder Seminar. It was a blast to tie a few flies and share some of my hard earned knowledge with all you fellow steelhead nuts.
The house was packed…
As promised, you can find the recipe for the first intruder that I tied below with a couple of pictures. It is the Black & Blue fly. Remember, these flies are completely freestyle so feel free to adapt, change, or substitute materials where needed or desired.
Some of my standard ties.
