Ryan Kral Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hey guys, Im going to visit my sister in NYC second week of April, so I got a guide for a day fly fishing for Striped Bass. The guide said his go to flies were deceivers and clousers. This is my first deceiver, dont know why, I guess I've just become comfortable with the Clouser, and never found myself in the situation wishing I had a Deceiver! I'll tie a few up, different colors.

Rob G Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 That looks outstanding. Not sure of the size but I wouldn't hesitate to toss that for LMB, pike, or even a smallie if it's not too large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Kral Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 It's 3'' long on the dot. I could easily tie it longer, but the guide actually said no longer than 3", which amazes me considering the size of the Stripers they catch. Although he did say, if they are able to spot a large fish, he has Pike style flies he will use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike G Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Ryan, 'That is an impressive fly you have tied. I volunteer to Beta test.. Three inches is wimpy considering the size of stripers. Given the benefit of the doubt, he guide's preference for 3" could be based on the local hatch. Here's the master tying the deciever.

Ryan Kral Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I guess I should say Deceiver "style" fly. As in the video, Lefty used a lot more material than I did, and he almost always ties in the red for the gills. I guess that's the nice thing about fly patterns, they're easily adjustable to your specific needs. That's a good video I hadn't seen yet, he tied that a lot faster than I tied mine!
