Deceiver Flies
The Deceiver is a classic saltwater pattern and its derivatives are effective on snook, barracuda, roosterfish, bluefish, striped bass, tuna, tarpon, and many more, and it even works on many freshwater fish including trout, pike, bass, and muskies. The Deceiver is the perfect baitfish imitator. If you fish for any of these species it would be wise to carry a selection of Deceivers, Half & Halfs, and other similar patterns in the appropriate sizes and colors to match your local baitfish.
