A larger version of our standard intruder, but tied on a tube, the Chinook Intruder is approximately 4” in length. Using a generous amount of flash and UV enhanced ostrich and schlappen, this intruder is sure to anger a chinook into striking the fly. Rigged with a stout ring eye black nickel hook.

Also an excellent large Intruder Steelhead fly.

A custom design by Grabflies. Design idea came from combining the famous Skagit Minnow with the new Intruder style trailing hook. This fly has lots of action in the water with a large profile.

POP = Purple, Orange, Pink

Same color scheme as teh famous Alaskabou Popsicle for fishing for King Salmon.

This Neo Skagit Leech is a smaller version of the original Skagit Leech. It is tied with a hidden .25" nickle bead. The hidden bead helps prop up the Marabou which has stiff Guinea and Prop Hackle in front of it. The fly swims different, and snags less as the bead will not snag on rocks.

Size:  3 inches | #1 OPST barbless hook (very strong hook)

Fly is tied and glued in every step of it's construction - tied to last.

Greg's Kriller

Constructed on the banks of the Kanektok River the killer krill, or Kriller, was designed for maximum castabilty as well as its flaring motion when swinging across hydraulic “fences” in the water column. With the weight of the dumbbell eyes at the back of the shank, the Kriller swings deep with more of a downward-diagonal profile than most traditional patterns. A devouring size for both chrome Chinook and Steelhead, having the eyes closer to the hook attracts some of the most aggressive eats you can find near tidewater!

New for 2017, a moal leech on steroids +. A String Leech with 65 lb braid line supporting a 1/0 hook strong enough for huge King Salmon. The Black rabbit is the core of the fly giving it silhouette and movement - nothing moves like rabbit. Two colors of Rhea are tied in with corresponding flashabou. 2/3 up the fly is a 1/4 inch bead with Intruder hackle wrap toward the head, then Rhea, and Guinea hackle. This gives the fly more silhouette that can't collapse and allows the fly to swim better in softer water. Finished off with a thread head.

Large Silhouette

Size: 3.5"

Two different colors with corresponding Flashabou. A good King Salmon Fly.

Length: 4 inches

Size 1/0 hook

Moal leech with lots of flashabou.

Chinook, King Salmon unlike Steelhead often like mono, single color flies. If the aren't hitting one color switch to another, rather then swing a multicolored fly by them.

These flies are custom tied.

Sizes: 3 inch (clear water), 4 inch (glacier silt to muddy water)

Hook Sizes: Size 2 (fishes better), Size 1 (stronger) Owner Hooks SSW Super Needle Point Hooks.

This pattern came from Grabflies "King Intruder Leech, Red". I have caught a lot of Steelhead on this pattern. Also see Custom Blue Flash Moal Leech, and Coho Salmon.

Fly is tied using black cross cut rabbit strip tied on braid line like a Moal Leech, then lots of Blue Rhea spun on, followed by Blue Flashabou, and Blue Guinea and red bead cone. The Black Rabbit core gives this fly lots of silhouette and animates the flashabou.

The Cyclops Leech is designed to get down and keep a profile while moving like a snake. With the 7/32" tungsten bead, this fly will break through the toughest of currents. Rigged with a Gamakatsu Octopus hook.

Good King Salmon and Winter Steelhead Fly. Tied by Aqua Flies

Size 1/0 hook

This pattern came from Grabflies "King Intruder Leech, Red" but I have only fished it for Winter Steelhead.

King Intruder Leech, Chartreuse

Fly is tied using black cross cut rabbit strip tied on Fireline braid like a Moal Leech, then lots of Chartreuse Rhea spun on, followed by Chartreuse Holographic Flashabou, and Chartreuse Guinea and a Chartreuse bead cone.

This pattern came from Grabflies "King Intruder Leech, Red" but I have only fished it for Winter Steelhead. In off color rivers like the Hoh river on the Olympic Peninsula. My first try with this fly I caught two Steelhead and no other flies were producing any results. I used a four inch King Intruder Leech, Pink on the Hoh, but clearer water rivers I use the three inch size.

Red Two Toned King Salmon Flash Moal Leech

Moal leeches are tied entirely on a string with a trailer hook at the back. This gives the fly greater action than a fly tied on a rigid hook. More fish are landed with the Moal fly as well.

The combination of rabbit fur which has incredible life in the water and flashabou creates an illuminated attraction for fish. A real winner!

Two Size: 3 inch and 4 inch.

Two hooks size: Size 2 (recommended works better) Size 1/0 for huge Salmon that may bend your hook - only on four inch flies.

BigMoal MT Leech - Mega Moal Leech with Marabou tail like a woolly bugger.

NEW - now with articulated tail

This hybrid Mega Moal Leech has become the new "go to" winter fly. Just like the Mega Moal this fly moves tough winter Steelhead. The BigMoal MT which is custom tied by Grabflies.com has caught Steelhead for Grabflies this winter after already fishing the run with a Mega Moal. The different accents and tail action seem to make that subtle difference.

This fly also has becomes popular for Pike, Muslie, and Sea-run Browns

The advantages of the BigMoal MT are:

• Tail Wiggles and Fly Snakes through the water
• TheBigMoal MT measures 6 - 6.5 inches long, but only 5 inches of rabbit fur, 1.5 inches of Marabou.
• Trailing hook with the added Marabou tied directly on hook gets fouled less when making long Spey casts.
• Fly is custom ordered and you can custom designed your fly to get that perfect color combination for your river.

Moal leeches are tied entirely on a string with a trailer hook at the back. This gives the fly greater action than a fly tied on a rigid hook. More fish are landed with the Moal fly as well because of the smaller offset trailer hook.

Select - Add different color Marabou tails
Select - Add different color flash to Marabou tails

Custom Select Bead and Conehead colors

Select Size to be tied (default size is 6 inches, but depending on river water clarity you can have order your custom BigMoal MT Leech flies smaller (6 inch, 5 inch, and 4 inch)

This is a marabou intruder style fly intended for Kings, but it is also a great pattern for Coho and steelhead.

Very well known fly in BC.

Size 1 trailing hook

Using long flowing materials is one of the key Intruder features. The rhea is a small South American ostrich-like bird with long flowing feathers, and it's the perfect match for the Intruder. The use of rhea was popularized by Paul Miller a number of years ago.

Stu's Rhea Intruders are tied on 40mm shanks with 5/32-inch brass eyes. Stock flies come with a Gamakatsu Octopus hook.
