{"product_id":"half-man-intruder","title":"Half Man Intruder","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"When I first came up with the Half Man it was for steelhead here in Northern California. I was Looking into some new materials and some others that I liked but felt they were to uniform straight out of the package to work properly. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo I started cutting all the materials and adding them into one composite loop and it worked out great. It gave it a little more of an uneven wispy look that when wet, it really performed. Come to find out it only fishes better as the pattern thins with hook ups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith there being not too many chartreuse patterns out there, especially for Kings, I took a handful of these to guide at Lava Creek Lodge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell long story short, everyone wanted them, they were one of the best flies for Kings day in day out until I ran out of them and materials to tie more. The pink and blue variation worked great on Chums and Silvers as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo the Half Man was born and is now one of my favorite salmon and steelhead flies in my arsenal.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Signature Tyer Travis Ortiz\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Umpqua Feather Merchants","offers":[{"title":"Blue\/Chartreuse \/ 1\/0","offer_id":52404751728936,"sku":"73531","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Pink\/Blue \/ 1\/0","offer_id":52404765163816,"sku":"73532","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0333\/2381\/files\/Screenshot2026-09-17134836.png?v=1789678210","url":"https:\/\/www.lostcoastoutfitters.com\/products\/half-man-intruder","provider":"Lost Coast Outfitters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
