This is a fly with virtually neutral buoyancy that I fish in the estuary when the tide is flowing very gently, and I rely on the sink tip to place the fly at the depth I want it to fish. If I fish this in a river and need it to sink more quickly, I add one or more PSF Tungsten Raw weights to the tube, usually in front of the Pink Lady Fusion Dub.
This pattern is a proven Chinook Intruder that is on the small side when compared to many of the far larger Intruder style flies.
Enjoy!
