Amazing intruder fly for the sea run trouts featuring super heavy dumbell eyes and was originally designed by Rob Crandall for steelhead fishing in the US. These flies are also extremely effective when fishing for sea run trout here in Iceland. If you are going for either spring or autumn sea trout fishing – be sure to have some of those with you!
This is how Rob Crandall describes this fly:
This is just a fishy fly, plain and simple. It provides good visibility without too much flash. The dark and light colors contrast well and produce anywhere steelhead live. It works very well in a range of water conditions but it seems to work best when water conditions are clear to mid-colored. This color combination is hard to find commercially so it’s a different look for popular runs. And fish love it!
