Intruder, step by step.

 The Intruder, is a fly that was put together by Ed Ward, for fishing steelhead, in the big rivers in BC area and States. it is a fly that can give you a big profile for a light dressed fly, and the movement on these flies is amazing. i have been using them for about 3 seasons for sewin at night, and will say they work very well and in my mind. look better than a snake fly that i fish a lot, 
Above, i have put a 5/0 salmon hook in the vise. you can also use a waddington shank for this pattern, 

 Above, showing the main hook, and the stinger hook set on 0.24" nylon coated wire.

 Above, i have run thread down hook. to the point of hook, here i am using Danville thread 240 denier white.

 And now, i have catch in the stinger wire with thread.

 Now run thread up the shank, there is no need like a lot of tiers do. run the stinger wire though eye of hook,

 Here i have finished the thread on shank, and trimmed the thread.

 Now i coat the thread, with varnish thin get it to soak in to the thread. when dry it will lock all together, the stinger hook will never pull out.When the Intruder is finished cut off the hook on main body,

 Now we catch in the thread at the point of hook,

 Now tie in some chenille, this acts a a pillow and flares out any material tied in behind it.

 Now trim off unwanted chenille,

 Now i tie in some Ostrich each side of shank, for tail and movement.

 Now i tie in a purple saddle hackle,

 Here i have wound on the hackle,

 Here i have trimmed off unwanted material.

 Now i have made a dubbing loop,

 Here i have waxed the loop, and put in the loop some lady Amherst pheasant center tail.

 Now i have spun the loop,

 Now i have wound on the dubbing loop.

 Now i have cleaned up ends,

 Now tie in some Krystal flash,

 Here i have tied in some Hareline diamond braid, and run up hook shank.

Now we repeat the back end tying, for the front hackle.

 Tie in Chenille pillow,

 Tie in saddle hackle,

 Clean up hackle,

 Now i have done a dubbing loop and tied in Amherst,

 Now i tie in dumbells at the head, some tiers tie it in first but i like it my way.

 Now we wax thread, and use dubbing to cover head. to finish fly.

 Above, some of the colors i use,note i have also use plastic jungle cock on some of them. these are sold by www.Deercreek.co.uk ,

 And above, the four colors together. These and my snaketruders are always in my sewin boxes,

Kyley tube fly, step by step.

 Here is the step by step, of the Kyley. i am tying it on a 3/4" inch copper tube, i use a 6" long sewing needle which i push though the tube. and the vise is a eumer tube vise,

 Here i catch on the thread, i am using Danville 70 denier black.

 When running the thread down the tube, i catch in the oval tinsel.

 Here you can see i have done the tag, and tied in the tinsel up the tube.

 Here you can see, that i have tied in the tinsel. back down the tube ready for the rib.

 Now i tie in the tail, i have used bucktail orange.

 Now i tie in the krystal flash orange, i have use four strands.

 Now over the top of the tail, i tie in a Golden pheasant breast feather.

 Now i have pulled to the length i want, and use the tying thread to do the tag.

 Now i tie in the gold holographic tinsel body.

 Above, i have run the tinsel body up the tube body. and tied off,

 Now i run the oval tinsel rib, over the tag and gold tinsel body. and tie off,

 Now it's time to tie in the hackle, i have used a Whiting saddle hackle hot orange.

 As you can see her,e i have used a long hackle. my thought that it gives lot's of movement,

 Now i use the tying thread, for the forward body. and also tie in oval tinsel for the rib,

 Here i have run the oval tinsel, up over the forward body. there is no need for a rib, but i think it does finish it off better looking.

 Now it's time to tie in the over bucktail,

 Above, i have trimmed the bucktail and tie off.

 Now i tie in the cheeks of Jungle cock.

 Here i have trimmed the jungle cock, and tied in the throat of guinea fowl. dyed blue,

 And above the finished tube,

And above,showing three tyings of the Kyley i do. the top one is the one in the step by step, the middle is the same dressing. but with a black back squirrel main which does look good in the water, and the bottom one is the Kyley shrimp. i will be putting up a step by step of tying it soon, hope you like the step by step. give it a go and fish it,
