OPST SIGNATURE INTRUDER DRABS

The intruder is probably the most known Steelhead fly out there. It has a large profile and very life like action in the water. However when you want to tie flies that look good and swim well in the water you need quality materials. The originator of the Intruder – Ed Ward – looked long and hard to find the prefect material for tying these flies. He named this feather the ‘drab’. The perfect ostrich plume with a stiff base that tapers into fine tips. You can cut the tips and hackle them, the rest of the feather can be tied in by stacking them. Alternatively you can put the into a dubbing loop or composite loop with the use of ICE dub. If you want to tie those amazing looking Intruders, this is the material to do so.

The OPST drabs are available as barred or dotted and come in 2 per pack
