This fly was designed to be light to make the fishing experience more enjoyable. Be sure to run the tag ends through the shank eye for added security and strength. The trailer hook is tied using an aqua rig and is tied in just like wire off the back of the shank. The smaller shank eye reduces the amount of resistance when casting allowing for better turnovers. Jerry’s Intruder is tied with custom made shanks with a reverse eye. A safe and effective way to imitate food such as shrimp or squid for these sea run steelhead, salmon, and brown trout. Trailer hooks were commonly tied on larger hooks but these hooks tend to damage and hurt steelhead upon release. The Intruder is considered a Spey fly or a fly fished on the swing for steelhead and other migratory fish. Jerry ties his with shanks instead which is a key take away with this pattern.

What is unique about this fly is that it is commonly tied with tubes for buoyancy. Make him disarming, then when he goes on a rampage the couple's reactions are genuine.The Intruder Fly was originally created by Jerry French and was a concept pattern with a streamer style body with a trailer hook off of the back of the fly. A subtle approach to his creepiness was needed. Much more could have been done to make the character more effective and realistic. The audience knows he's a loon, and then has to wait ninety minutes for the other characters to figure it out. His character had a chance to be terrifying. The Intruder's edge of your seat moments are dismal and plodding.ĭennis Quaid is wasted in this film. The way he shoots the home settings in Get Out and Us are masterful, filled with tension. Taylor needs to take a page from Jordan Peele's style. You're fumbling through the dark, light flickers, thunder rolls, and some dude jumps out of a corner. The Intruder is akin to walking through a Halloween haunted house. Taylor uses lighting and sound effects to build up the scares. Apart from a few scenes in San Francisco, the film takes place in and around the Napa Valley home. The direction by Deon Taylor feels amateurish. It's the classic horror trope of the dumb teenagers running blindly through the woods. The characters are not rational in any of their responses. The film becomes even more brainless when Charlie gets aggressive. The fact that they continually ignore and encourage his actions is ludicrous.

This guy's behavior would set off alarm bells from the first incident. They're not stupid, except when it comes to anything concerning Charlie. The script by David Loughery portrays Scott and Annie as an intelligent, wealthy couple. The Intruder suffers from a fatal flaw that drives me crazy. The couple have no idea who they are truly dealing with. Scott's exasperation with Charlie comes to a boiling point. Annie feels sorry for the lonely old man, who is clearly fawning for her attention. Scott becomes annoyed as Charlie's visits become frequent and unexpected. They are surprised to find Charlie mowing the lawn several days later. Annie and Scott purchase the home and move in ready to have children and start a life anew. But is seemingly impressed with the earnest young couple. The homeowner, Charlie ( Dennis Quaid), had many offers for his beloved home.
