Senyo's Independence Intruder

As the July 4th holiday approached, I sent Greg Senyo (fly tier, guide, fellow cop, and fly shop rat) a text message to see if he had anything good up his sleeve in red, white, and blue with a hook attached.  Greg answered back that he did and a couple of days later these photos of the Independence Intruder hit my inbox.  Genius.
