Eugene local, Jim Sens, teaches us how he ties the Montana Intruder. There’s no limit to the color combinations you can come up with this fly but Jim finds that this produces fish and that it does so well.
We like this as a trout spey fly but if you happen to get into a steelhead with this one, don’t worry – it’s built to handle that, too.
