Time has come... RIP, you will not be forgotten in the fly fishing world Left Kreh
Absolute pioneer in the sport. Created so many great patterns and showed so many how to fish.
Very beautiful
Thanks!
P.S. Love the underwater shots! Great video mate.
The hook location in the vise does look a bit strange, but it is correct. The Dyna-King vise I use has two indents lower down in the jaws for larger hooks. These hold large hooks really securely while saving the jaw tips for smaller hooks.
Nice observation Thor. There is flashabou on that underwater fly, but it sure isn't real visible, at least not in that light. You would think it would be flashing like crazy. I'll reply back if I figure anything out. Thanks for watching.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I have to give you props for the detail information on cut direction, locations of where and how to get hair from the bucktail and hackles. And, like others have said, the underwater shot at the end is phenomenal. Looking forward to more!
Nice video. I like to watch Lefty's video on tying this fly, but I find that yours is more instructive. I especially like watching the fly underwater at the end. It gives me fish fever every time I see it :-) I tied some wicked looking deceivers after this video. And I like to run them under the water as you show, just so I can see them when they're wet (I'm not worried about the feathers though) Also, you have a great voice for narration.
Thanks.
Dude, I can’t tell you enough how VALUABLE seeing the flies wet really is. Not to mention seeing it “swim”. Excellent and should be included with more tying vids
This is an excellent video. Great detail, sound, and underwater photography!
Just tied up an army of these. One of the best and most well guided fly videos I have watched. The small detail makes all the difference... THANK YOU
R.I.P Lefty Kreh never met him but wish I did hope he’s fishing with his fellow fishing friends up in the deep blue sky. sadly he passed away on my birthday. 😕
Probably the easiest tie for a deceiver I have ever seen. Too many tying instructors make this fly a very hard to execute.
If you haven't already, search "hand whip finish" on UA-cam, our video is currently the 6th one down. We produced it quite a while ago, but I think the information is still good. Hans's video at number 5 is also very good. It really isn't that hard, it just takes practice.
It's a Half Hitch Mag bobbin by Rite Bobbin. They work great!
what vise are you using
Great video. Been tying for years and didn't know or maybe forgot about the hot water trick.
I met Lefty twice. Both times at fishing expos. He actually approached me on both occasions and just started talking to me like we were old friends. He was like that with everyone. A very humble and unpretentious gentleman.
I love your videos! I have learned so much watching! thanks for sharing!
Fish Your Way hi fish your way I love your videos! love the videos you do on teasers and how productive they can be on almost every lure.
WOW! this is a very well put together video... i mean it is freaking money nice job man
Another excellently done video. I’ve tied a few of these, but your subtle tricks make them look so much better than before. I’ve tied these all the way down to number 16 and up to 3/0 - - great all-around fly and your technique makes it look better regardless of the size. Thank you Tightlinevideo - another great job.
Lovely video as ever. Great photography and a voice you could listen to all day. A good tip re cutting the bucktail. Would you akways use white feathers for the tail. I like the combination of white and flourescent yellow or green. It looks great in the water and the fish like it big time. Over here i catch all species from mackerel to European Bass on my own white and green flies. A few days ago i caught as many bass on a trace with three of these as my boat partner did with three soft plastic lures with biult in vibrations from the tail as we drifted over a sand bank. I was chuffed with that performance against commercial lures with considerable research behind their design. Anyway what about using grizzly hackles. Have you ever
Works amazing for bass as well
Love the videos! Perfect instruction and helpful tips as I get back into the game.
Some very nice tips in there. Nice job.
Thinking about making a few of these for walleyes/white bass at one of my favorite lakes. The lake is pretty shallow, and we always cast for walleyes there throwing a white/chartreuse twistertail grub. Same works on the white bass. I have had success on bucktail jigs that i have tied myself, never really gave Lefty's pattern much thought!
StormLaker1975 hhh
I Really like seeing the fly in action at the end, sweet video!
It was created by Norman Duncan and first described by Lefty in a 1972 Saltwater Sportsman issue. He credits Norman Duncan.
what kind of bobbin is that? renzetti?
Remember the first thing you put on the fly? That makes the tail? Are there different sizes for that material?
yeah, usually the rooster saddle hackles come in 5-7" packs but when you cut out the marabou parts at he base it ends up giving you varying lengths you can work with.
Excellence, excellence, excellence !!!
Will be tying 6-7 this afternoon.
Thanks 😁
Thank You Again !!! After all these years, variations and the introduction of new materials, this is still my favorite tie and it never fails to produce. Take Care
I assume, with that much material, that this is a very slow-sinking fly. Do you ever add wire weight? I tied a bunch of Clousers, which will probably sink like stones. I like the thought of having some Deceivers in the box that will fall much more slowly.
Lefty didn't invent this fly. Norman Duncan did. Lefty only named it.
Where do you buy your strung saddle hackle? Can't find decent hackle.
That fly is a BEAUTY! I can see that getting gobbled up quickly!
For a clouser minnow tied with a mustad 34007 1/0 what size dumbell eye would you recommend? And where could I get about 10 dumbell eyes for cheap?
Your videos are so great. After 20+ years on streams I just started working some saltwater. Being able to catch fish off a fly of my own making is so satisfying and your videos have given me confidence in my own tying processes for both salt and freshwater flies.
Great video.
What is the color of the tail crystal flash? What is the other flash you use for the tail, my english ear is not so good, I hear medium flash something?
Thanks
I know you don't tie many big streamers, but would you consider making a video on how to tie a Lynch's Drunk and Disorderly?
Thanks, another awesome tutorial!
Joe Duca
Thank you! I watch this video every winter to just get a refresher on the basics since I don’t tie too many of these and tend to forget after months of not tying
without a doubt, this is the best tying video I've ever seen. Super curious who clicked thumbs down.
Such a good video and man your voice reminds me of the narrator on that movie faces of death 🤔💀🤔💀🤔
Hi from Italy, very nice job!! I've a question for you: is it this fly ok for pike fishing?
Is is possible to tie a smaller version to throw on a 5wt?
no it's not.
YES, it is. any fly can be tied larger or smaller.
I play yor videos as I drift off to sleep Tim cause yer voice is so soothing
There are numerous videos on how to tie this fly. Yours is the best. Thanks much.
Trabalho maravilhoso. A isca nada perfeitamente como se estivesse viva. Parabéns.
Nice fly, but I don't think that hook is mounted ideally!! Whatever works for you though.
Funny, I don't see any flashabou on the under water deceiver .. Eh ?
can u use regular strung rooster saddle hackles
Can I do this fly in different colors
Thanks for this video! :)
Will the red krystal flash make or break the fly? I slayed largemouth on a deceiver with no red flash, but was wondering if when the fish aren't hitting it as well, would the red entice a fish more?
bear ofthebattlingkind usually red is suppose to resemble blood so it’s possible!
Looks like a great pike fly as well! :)
Love From Saginaw MI
Congratulations!!!!! 😀👍
Great tips...thank you.
Great
Nice job
Amazing job
what saddle hackle is that?
Official CwaiG strung saddle hackle, aka "shlapin". alot cheaper than on the hide. it's super webby so it can't be used like hackle on a wooly bugger.
How small should you tie it? 12, 14, 16, 18?
caught my first smallmouth on that fly, a fat 14"
