The Simple Hollow Deceiver

- Flies don't have to be complex or expensive to be effective. If your Fly fishing for Pike or Striped Bass a Hollow Deceiver is never the "wrong" fly to use. It has great movement, good profile and is very easy to cast even with pretty light gear. Average quality bucktail, Schlappen or Chinese saddle hackles and flash is needed to tie this fly and of course a hook. A 5/0 Varivas Big mouth in this case. This is a part of my "one platform, a million variations" fly series which all are based on Lefty's Deceiver and Bob Popovics Hollow technique.
Beautiful fly, for my simple deceiver I use 4 hackle feathers at the back, then a small clump of white bucktail with another small clump of chartreuse on top, both tied back. Stripers love it and quick to tie up!
Complimenti per l'accuratezza del montaggio.Questo streamer in acqua credo faccia la differenza.
one of the best videos i've seen! great job!
Nice tie! Like simple flies - you don't need a lot of complexity to represent the form, flash and movement of a baitfish. Been catching a lot of pike, bass and walleye on 5-6 inch versions of flies that Bob shows in his Fleye Design book. Cheers Jari! Hank
Looks like a great river smallmouth fly!
They are! I fish a slightly different version of this fly (but very similar) in the rivers and creeks of middle Tennessee and the smallies absolutely hammer it (especially in the fall).
You being left handed sometimes gives the impression video is played in reverse, until i remember your left handed :) . cool vids like em.
Yes, that and the fact that I rotate my bobbin clockwise seems to confuse many :) . I've always done it that way and it works for me so that's the way it goes. I'm glad you like the videos.
I am left handed and still rap the thread away from me. Is it just personal preference?
I guess so.
Nice video!!! I have a little question, do you tie different lenght of bucktail when tying this fly? Do you tie longer bucktail with each clump to make a taper or each clump are approximatly the same lenght?
I usually use longer bt at the back of the fly and then shorten it up a bit when I go forward. On a long shank hook like that, the tapering is not as important as it is when tying on shorter hooks when you want a fly that fouls as little as possible.
Okay cool!! Thanks! :)
I never see you measure your materials? Is it just spacing between each fly that gives it that awesome taper? The collar has shorter BT but I’m assuming it’s naturally shorter ones right?
JP_Rez yes, on longer flies, tied on a long shank hook i use pretty much the same length bt for the whole body and only shorten things for the last tie. It's always a good idea to have three lengths of bucktail available. Long stuff for the tail/rear ties, medium stuff for the body and short for the front.
Jari Koski time to go shopping haha. Thanks!
watt size hook aer you ussing
On this particular fly I'm using a 5/0 Varivas BM X
