Scandinavian Intruders Part 1

Scandinavian Intruders

For abouth five years ago I made my first Intruders and tryed then on the Baltic Sea trouts and I got some fish on them but for some reason I just continued tying and fishing one of the patterns that I have made with the same colours like one of my favorites flies The Akroyd. Last year I started to tie some patterns in a style I called "Tarantulas" because they was big and hairy with all there hackles. This Taratulas you can say is a half intruder with just hackle infront of the fly and this patterns also have a body like an ordinary tube flies. After fishing them for awhile with very good results I was keen to try making some Intruders again for the Spring fishing for Sea trout and Salmon here in Sweden. So I started tie Intruder style patterns of my favorite flies and used colours that I know work her in Scandinavia but i have not used the eyes that many of the tyers from USA and Canada use because I wanted a more balanced fly that swimm more side to side the up an down there for i have used one Brass or Tungsten Cone Head or a Bead in the back of the tube and then a second Cone head or Bead as front part of the body. As a head I use the thin brass Cone Heads or Monster Cones from Eumer. I think that more people will try to fish with Intruders here in Scandinavia in the future because they realy fishes and swimms great and are also very fun to tie and quite easy to convert to your favorite pattern.
