- opskagit.com If you love the Intruder, check this out. This video provides step-by-step instructions on how Ben Paull ties a Micro Intruder. Tied on a size 10 streamer hook, this is a pretty small intruder, but you can tie them even smaller with these techniques and materials. And if you don't want to tie your own, we have Jonathan Farmer versions coming very soon. It's time to get out there and swing for trout. When trout take these they do not do it delicately.

Hook: streamer, size 10
Thread: 140 Denier, Olive

Would love to see more videos by Ben Paul!
I tie these in a multitude of colors and they all work. Lately I have been using a shank I cut down and snell a stinger hook on gives it even better movement .
Thanks
Great tie and we couldn't agree more about that OPST spinning tool.
Thank you for a great instructional tie. I will try this one out. Thanks again and keep em coming.🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Hackle pliers for the win!
wow nice fly how long was the hook, and where did you purchase the material Thanks Mark
Nice looking pattern. I will give it a try!
Thanks, I finally have something to do with all the sculpin wool I bought before the new synthetics came out for tying nice bulky heads on sculpin and baitfish flies. Whatever happened to Jerry French? The first time I saw composite loops Jerry was tying on this channel. Love to watch him tie. All the best, Sean
Great tie Ben very informative.
I feel like I would be very good at naming flies , but I am Impatient . I’d like to name a fly and then try to create a fly that provokes the fish to question its Very nature to feed
Have you ever tried the Norvise. And if so did you like it ?
The Norvice is very nice! Many of us tie on regal, but our Ops Manager has tried the Norvise and liked it.
So are you using a sink tip and dead drifting this fly? That's what I've been trying without much luck. I have an 11'6" 4 weight Redington Hydrogen with a 300 grain OPST Skagit head and a 12' OPST Bucket sink tip. I have a hard time shooting line, a hard time making my drifts last longer than 15 or 20 seconds, and I've only caught one fish in my first two outings.
Hi Ben, do you have a hook type there, maybe a 4xl?
Hi again Ben, now I understand more of what the difference is between the soft hackle you tied and this mini intruder. Even the soft hackle's "antennas" or horns as I called them correspond with the hackle wings on the mini intruder, you're just downsizing. Excellent! 👍 Your casting segment was beautiful. I'll have to look into that system, as I fish mostly small streams but I can see how I could fish bigger rivers and confined casting areas. Is Skagit a casting style or method like scandi? Are those tips sinking? Actually it's a shooting head system, correct? Thanks Ben.
OPSkagit Thanks, but we're those tips sinking, floating, or do they come in different degrees of bouancy?
OPSkagit Ok, that explains alot. I know the rivers in the NW (if that's where you're fishing) are different than here in NY. I called Kaufman's Streamborn about 15 years ago and the guy that took my call was a NY transplant and that's what he told me, as far as steelhead go. Thanks again, you're a great help.
Cool
I just made the live stream, 5 years later..
