Owner Gorilla light #2 - cheap at Walmart and a very good hook. I try to buy often at local fly shops, but hooks for intruders are way overpriced frankly, and good hooks can be had at the Supercenter

Good to see you back👍🏻

[@recoveryfishing364]

Really like this

[@toncremers9776]

I'm glad to see you again on you tube. And you surprise me again with a beautiful fly. A question. If I want to tying this intruder in a smaller size. Do I only use the one station?

[@theportlandflyshop]

One station would work just fine. It would be more along the lines of a traditional prom dress, but, nothing wrong with that! That fly is time tested and very effective

Hey Jason, when you were guiding did you use 'guide flies''? simplifying a fly intentionally is just something that'd bother me a so im curious how you handled it. i always feel the more effort (time,looks,design,materials etc) i put into the fly the better i feel about choosing it. i've become so choosy about my flies now, my friends think ive lost my mind. i'll put a fly in my ''razorblade bag'' if a single material type is outta proportion or any superficial aesthetic i find off lol .

[@theportlandflyshop]

I definitely had flies that I didn't like. I tried to have all killer flies, but it wasn't feasible. I was guiding 3 days a week, plus another 3 or 4 in a shop. Silveys tandem tubes from Idylwilde were my guide flies for a long time. Simple, effective and durable.

[@gwarren3]

What total length …. Back of hook to eye of shank do you like?

[@theportlandflyshop]

2-1/2 inches for normal conditions, 3" for dirty water

[@gwarren3]

@@theportlandflyshop that’s not including the length of hook ? I like a short steelhead fly but a 2 1/2 “ intruder (total length) would be really small.

[@theportlandflyshop]

​@@gwarren3 2 -1/2 to 3" seems to be the sweet spot for me
