MURICAN INTRUDER
DESCRIPTION
If you’re fishing for American steelhead, then this is the fly for you. If the steelhead you’re after prefer something a little less over-the-top in terms of patriotism, then feel free to change these colors. This is a great base pattern that demonstrates the use of a few different feathers, as well as adding a deeper glow to the body by using UV Clear Fly Finish and the Fly Tying Powders.
