Lefty's Deceiver Style Tarpon Fly

Lefty's Deceiver Style Tarpon Fly

​Lefty's Deceiver is a versatile streamer fly pattern created by renowned fly angler and author Lefty Kreh in the late 1950s. Designed to minimize fouling during casts, it effectively imitates various baitfish species. The original pattern is all white, resembling smelt, a primary forage for striped bass in the Chesapeake Bay. Over time, the Deceiver has been adapted in numerous color combinations and sizes to mimic different prey species. This adaptability makes it suitable for targeting a wide range of freshwater and saltwater gamefish.

The fly's design and versatility have solidified its status as one of the most renowned saltwater fly patterns worldwide.
