Tying the Micro Intruder Fly - Baitfish Pattern for Steelhead

/ District Angling/

A micro Intruder fly mixed with a baitfish best describes this one. This is a go-to fly when swinging for fish who eat baitfish. For most of the Great Lakes steelhead, this is it! Utilizing a Waddington-style shank makes this fly light as it’s unweighted. Fished with a sink tip or sinking head it will have great movement in the water.
