Washington angler Ed Ward's Intruder was a fly that created quite a stir in the last several years because it broke away from traditional Steelhead fly designs. By all reports this fly has been highly effective. It is a big and bulky fly, 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.
