Brett's Klamath Intruder from Aqua Flies is perfect when you want a small offering that still pops in the water. The Blue Black version is a top steelhead color and also will get big grabs from spring rainbow trout. Brett's Klamath Intruder is a mere 1 3/4" in length. It is tied on a tiny 15mm shank and has an Octopus #4 hook. If the hook gets damaged you can swap it out for a new one. It has tiny lead eyes so you will want to fish it with a sink tip line or a bit of weight to get it down.

With the added movement and longer body, this pattern drives trout crazy.

The Fish Skull Electric Leech is a great streamer pattern for trout, steelhead and char. It can be fished in multiple ways to accommodate different fisheries. Try swinging it in the spring, dead drifting it for steelhead or fish it in still water for cutts, rainbows and dolly varden. This pattern is really good for chasing the big char found along the Northern Coast. The stinger loop on this pattern is long enough to allow the hook to be changed out if it gets damaged.

The Purple Fish Taco is one of our favorites for steelhead and kings. It is tied with a bit of pink on the rear of the shank that imparts a nice subtle pop of color.
Due to its light weight and slender profile this is a great fly in small or medium sized rivers. The ostrich and flash come alive in the water and it doesn't hang up at the end of the swing. If you are fishing the Sandy River or other Alaska Peninsula king rivers, the Fish Taco should be in your box.

The Hot Pink Mini Intruder from Aqua flies is one of our favorites for a host of different fish. Of course steelhead on small and medium sized streams will pound it. Rainbow trout in June and July also love a swung pink fly. And coho will eat it, too!
Stu's Mini Intruder from Aqua Flies is 2 1/2" in length, has light and small brass dumbell eyes, is tied on a 25mm tube and has a #4 Octopus hook. You can change out the hook if it gets damaged, too. -

The Voodoo Leech is a jumbo-sized, mean leech that gets down in the strike zone, has terrific flowing action in the water, and hooks up a variety of big fish. At 4 inches in length it is a big bite. The long flowing black leech with lead eyes and a flame head would be enough to attract steelhead, coho and big bows, but add in a skirt of hot pink silicone legs and it is almost too much!

Fish Skull Zonkers are a beautifully tied update of the classic baitfish pattern. The Ice Queen version has a nice flashy belly and a white wing/tail that make it stand out in murky water. What really makes this fly pop though is the red throat. Whether the fish thinks the red is a flash of the gills or bleeding bait, who knows? What we do know is that trout devour this color combination, especially when fished in stillwater, slow moving streams or in the estuaries. The keel weighted Fish Skull Head gives this fly a lot of motion when stripped.

The Crispy Critter is an entirely new take on the articulated sculpin. It is virtually unweighted so it should be fished either on a sink tip or with a split shot on the leader (or both.)
