Im wondering, since I havent really truley ever tied an intruder, would this qualify? its on a tube though....

I don't know a lot about intruders either but I do know I've seen ed ward tie one on a tube on one of the SM videos and as far as I know it looks like it has all the elements to call it one... Either way it's something I would tie on with confidence and it's very rare I have confidence in tubes!

What's really funny is the thing is so balanced I seriously doubt it would sink hook first! if anything its actually balanced right in front of the read wing, and that's with a damn 2/0 hook I had, gonna pick up some 1/0 instead, and some 2" tubes! Thanks for the vote of confidence my friend!

Cheers

Looks like a truder to me and a sweet one at that. I find it odd that some have no confidence in tubes, I love the damn things.

I make those but just call them tubes, or tube in the round. I also make a lot of traditional patterns on tubes.

Nice tying,

Ard

That's a dandy! I would fish that with much confidence! Nice tie..

Awesome fly. Call it a tube or an Intruder, either works. My two favourite steelhead colours combined in one fly. Nice work!

Im going to say my tube is not like this exactly, maybe a bit in the spirit of, but not exactly like.

I think that is good to add some weight in front of fly but I not think that very preciously balance is necessary. simply we have current which has maybe even bigger influence on position of fly .
Nice fly
