Intruder Fly Ostich Plumes

By now, most people who have spent any time pursuing steelhead have heard of the intruder. The large-profile fly is no longer a secret, but what many people don't fully appreciate is the critical importance of material selection in tying it. All materials are not created equal, and this is as true for ostrich plumes as it is for any other material. Jerry French and Ed Ward searched for a long time for the perfect barred intruder plume and eventually found a feather called the "drab". Don't let the name fool you; there's nothing drab about this feather. Olympic Peninsula Skagit Tactics selected the drab for our Signature barred Intruder Plumes because drabs are stout at the base and taper to fine tips, making them perfect for twin tails and wings. The tips of these ostrich feathers can be wrapped as a hackle to create a wide profile with a very slim base. The rest of the drab performs extremely well in a dubbing loop. Additionally, the length is perfect for intruders and other steelhead flies, meaning there is much less waste than with a traditional, over-sized ostrich plume. The final step in creating a perfect barred ostrich plume is in the dyeing. OPST's drabs are dyed in all the most effective steelhead and streamer colors, enhanced with unique black barring and polka-dotting that mimics the mottling pattern found in many species in nature. There's just something fishy about a mottled fly, and OPST has incorporated this into our signature ostrich drabs to inspire aggression in fish and confidence in you. Our drabs come two per pack!

Lady Amherst Center tail by Hareline.

These feathers represent the most sought after, longest, and most select center tail feathers from the Lady Amherst Pheasant.

Lady Amherst really stands under water. Used on Intruder patterns, and Atlantic salmon flies. A few feather fibers go a long way.

Spin these feathers in a dubbing loop for Steelhead Intruders or wrap individually. Lady Amherst Center Tail feathers really stand out in the water.

Whiting Farms has taken the best hackle on the market one step further with the 100's pack. Each package contains enough saddle hackle feathers to tie a minimum of 100 flies. Best of all, it comes pre-sized so the tier gets exactly what is needed.

Long hackles great for Intruder wings. There isn't enough hackle to tie hundred flies, but you can use one long hackle (cut a V in the tip to use as several hackles).

Great material for tying Intruder Steelhead and Salmon flies.

Another excellent tying material and new for us in 2014. Each feather has permanent black bars hand stenciled across the feather. What this does is gives a grizzly effect when the herl is streamed back over the fly body. These make amazing Intruders, Lady GaGa and specially Rockstars. They are a really fun feather to play with. Design your own sculpins, buggers or steelhead flies with these

Marabou Strung Blood Quills feathers are a little smaller than the extra select strung marabou feathers.

Full Plume

Average stem length is 12 inches, and the average herl length is 4 inches..plume in a wonderful array of colors.

One long plume per package.

Ostrich herl is used in many types of flies. Herls are soft and absorb water readily for much movement when wet. Herls shed water quickly as soon as they are removed from the water. This makes flies tied with herl lightweight and easy to cast.

Great for Intruders, bucktails. Steelhead flies, Salmon Flies, trout flies.

Great for Steelhead, Salmon, Tarpon, Muskie and Bass flies. Hackle is stiffer than Schlappen.

Grabflies ties Fish Taco's and Hoh-Bo Spey flies with this hackle. Tied palmered.
