Most commonly fished on the John Day and Lower Deschutes River(s) around us, the Klamath Intruder (and it’s many variations) is a staple in the boxes of anglers in Oregon and Southern Washington. Commercially tied in a variety of different color combinations, this fly is an equal-opportunity fish-catcher; with anglers finding great success in both summer and winter on this skagit-style bug.
