Washington angler Ed Ward's Intruder is a fly that has created quite a stir in the last couple of years because it has broken away from traditional Steelhead fly designs and has from all reports been highly effective. This fly is big and bulky, creating a large profile for fish to spot and it swims like a small fish or squid in the water. It takes a little more time to tie, however, and it is difficult to find instructions anywhere on the internet. So here are detailed Step-By-Step instructions for tying it, with a few notes about Ed Ward's original design.

If you would like to see what I mean by swimming take a look at this Youtube video . The Intruder can also be tied on a tube (as you can see in the video), which elliminates the necessity for attaching a trailing hook to a shank or using a Waddington shank.		.
