How to Tie a Micro Intruder | Steelhead Fly Tying

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

awesome, love the tip about using lead wire to keep the fuzzies back!

[@bigdaddy99929]

Very nice little intruder!

[@KevinHospodar]

Thanks!

[@mitchellotto5104]

You can keep your bread bag twisty ties to use where you used the lead wire to hold back the sili-legs, as well. Nice fly.

[@KevinHospodar]

Good tip!

[@redshaftedflicker]

This is perfect. Great tie.

[@KevinHospodar]

Thanks! Glad it was useful

[@etamaman]

Bass jigs rock to swing for steel!!! 😁

[@liljohnwhitetiger]

Nice video, very simple pattern and great approach for smaller flies.

[@KevinHospodar]

Craig Vohwinkle thanks! It’s been pretty effect live for me.

[@neilmcclure4401]

Great video. Thanks. 👍🎣

[@KevinHospodar]

Thanks! Glad it was helpful

[@rayurvina436]

Great video. Nice detail!

[@KevinHospodar]

Ray Urvina thanks for checking it out, glad you liked it

[@andrewbeldin7486]

Certainly going to tie a few of these.

[@kevinstevens2219]

Andrew Beldin flys used most frequently for steelhead

[@andrewbeldin7486]

Yes, of course :)

[@kevinstevens2219]

What were you gonna tie a few of ? Whats your top producing fly's for steelhead ? Please forward some patterns & pictures or videos. Thank you very much. Kevin Stevens.

[@roberttucker9536]

What are the eyes you used please

[@KevinHospodar]

Painted lead eyes

[@stephencifka4629]

Great pattern, smart use of materials. Any chance you have some tank footage to show how it swims?

[@KevinHospodar]

Thanks - I don't have a swim tank but that have fished really well

[@guyh.4553]

INTERESTING! I like it a lot. This would challenge me a bit. What are your thoughts on using this as a trolling fly for trout like a Frisky Jenny? Could be very productive! 👍👍👍

[@KevinHospodar]

Yeah, I don't see why it wouldn't work. It was designed to be swung on a tight line, so trolling could work.

[@larryjames1758]

where did you get that dubbing tool. looks like it works well.

[@KevinHospodar]

It was a cheap/generic one. Just a lead base and a hook to hold thread. There are some really great options now... i'm going to be doing a video on loop, i'll pass along the link. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@boostyourbrandtop]

Great! 😀👍

[@5.56Chronicles]

Quick question... how would this do for bass? Almost reminds me of a spinner type bait.

[@KevinHospodar]

i'm sure this would catch bass! you could tie it on a long shank stream hook of you wanted

[@niall441]

Every fish i got last year, king,coho,steelhead was on a orange woolly bugger with flash in it.This intruder would be even better! partridge hooks are a must, don't use cheap hooks the big boys will bend them! always sharpen hooks with sharpener til they are razor sharp!

[@KevinHospodar]

Thanks for checking out the video. You could easily add some flash to this pattern if you wanted, but the body being wrapped with the Opal mylar really gives some shine

[@АлександрПлахотный-ю1д]

Класс!👍🤝🇰🇿

[@Taylor_in_Southern_Oregon]

You made the fireline loop too short to change the hook.

[@KevinHospodar]

I never swap hooks, I think its a great idea in theory but serves me no purpose in the real world... been tying and fishing stinger style heavily since 2007 and never had a fly that I needed to swap a hook.
