Lefty's Deceiver is a simple fly that is absolutely deadly for predatory gamefish. It's a durable, easy tie that's made from few, readily available materials and has been catching fish for decades. It's at least as effective as a great many more modern, more complex baitfish patterns.. probably more so. You definitely want to have these in you box!

deceivers
The best all around streamer: seabass, asp, perch, tarpon, jack, chub, snapper... I use it mostly with white /grizzle/chartreuse or purple/black. I put bit more flash but I make the throat of calf tail to make a hot spot. And of course yellow stick on eyes and UV resin head.
