I2 Series

Years ago I went through a phase oif seeing how big the flies could be and still get a Steelhead to take.  I was fishing flies 4-7" in length and not only did they take but they grab with a VENGEANCE!

Now I have boiled it down to the I2 Intruder patterns and my Duncan's Shrimp.  If they don't take there move to another pool!

I2 Searcher

The I2 Skater series come about for a couple of reasons.  First I am rarely using an 8 weight rod these days and a size 3 Pinky which is a great searching fly requires that.  I needed a fly that weighs a lot less but put up the same big commotion.  This fly is all synthetic and as such does not gain any water weight.  Second I wanted a searching pattern with an even bigger profile than the Pinky.  This fly is all of 3.5" and stirs up the pool as I require.

All of my new skaters are tied on tubes.  These flies are virtually unsinkable with no hitches or anything, just fish.

I2 Eating

The I2 Skater - Eating is the follow up fly for the Searcher.  If the fish boiled and on the next cast, after a 2 minute reat, the fish does not come back then switch to a smaller buggier eating fly.  These have the same attributes of the Searcher, they wake like crazy and are unsinkable
