Fly Tying: Mini MT Intruder
The "2" Montana Mini Intruder is perfect for flinging on two to four weight trout spey rods. When you tie one, you can choose to run the hook either up or down on your wire. In the summer, I swing it fast and high through riffles and over buckets with the hook angled down. In cold water, I fish it slow and deep with the hook riding up, Clouser style. This keeps bottom contact to a minimum and hook ups to the maximum. When I get hungry for some solid tugs on trout spey two handers, I tie one on.
