Stu’s Barred Ostrich Intruder in Blue/Black is a go-to choice when you want a fly that reads clean in the water and keeps working through the swing. The darker palette creates a strong silhouette, while the barred ostrich materials add a subtle pulse that helps the fly look alive without needing a fast, aggressive swing.
This color combo shines in low light, deeper slots, and slightly colored flows where contrast matters more than flash. Fish it on sink tips to control depth and keep the fly traveling at the speed you want. If you like your intruders darker, cleaner, and confidence-driven, Blue/Black is a staple to keep in the rotation.
Using long flowing materials is one of the key Intruder features.
Stu's Ostrich Intruders are tied on 43mm shanks with 5/32-inch brass eyes.
Stock flies come with a AquaTalon hook.
