The Intruder is a modern classic for swinging flies to aggressive anadromous fish. Designed to push water and show a bold, pulsing profile, this pattern comes alive on the swing—breathing, flaring, and collapsing with every change in current speed. The articulated construction delivers maximum movement with minimal bulk, making it effective across a wide range of water types and conditions.

Fished on sink tips or intermediate lines, the Intruder excels when you need to get noticed—whether covering broad tailouts for steelhead or probing heavier runs for salmon. Its combination of motion, silhouette, and presence makes it a go-to choice when fish are willing to chase and commit. A confidence pattern for anglers who believe in covering water and letting the swing do the work.
