Fly Tying: Lefty's Deceiver with Martyn White

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!

You bet

[@craigleslie7615]

I like your practical no fuss approach. no need to make it a work of art. Toothy fish is gunna munch it and destroy it.

[@Piffilus]

Thanks Martyn. I'll tie some of the se for my upcoming trip. I've already made a bunch of clousers and bulkheads in different colours and sizes.

Put some bendbacks in incase you have mangroves

One of my favourite flies 👏👏

[@FlickingFeathers]

You're not alone

[@richards5520]

For predatory fish, Clouser and Deceiver are really all that's necessary.
Fancier looking flies won't work any better.
