Thanks a lot my friend. Cheers, Michael :0)

Nice version of Lefty’s Deceiver , I find them to be a very versatile fly for both salt and fresh water depending on color combinations. The one thing I have changed is I have gone to lime green flashabou to replace the peacock herl . Much more durable. The thing I really like is how this pattern swims so naturally .
Happy Trails

Thanks for your feedback, Mike. You are right: The peacock herls are fragile. The flashabou is a fine substitute. Cheers, Michael :0)

nice and not too complicated what kind of bird feather is that? would chicken work if its a decent feather?

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Raffael, I use cock saddle feathers, but chicken would work just fine. Cheers, Michael :0)

Whats the knot you use to finish the fly? Also do you have a video for it? Good video, thank you.

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Hi and thanks. The knot is called a whip finish. I haven't done a video on that... yet ;0) You can search for Whip Finish by hand, and some will show up. Tight lines, Michael :0)

[@platinumhandymansolutions]

Thank you.

Hi, are those cape, or saddle hackle combination?

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Hi. They are saddle hackle, some of them generic. Cheers, Michael :0)

[@brianwright8292]

I don't usually see the peacock herl on the back, but I like how it looks. Do you find that it's durable? I think I'll include some on my next round of deceivers.

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Hi Brian, I always include the peacock herl, since they were part of Lefty's original dressing. I find them appealing - even though they aren't durable. Cheers, Michael :0)

[@nauticalstar8363]

Nice job! What is the names of the hackles you’re using?

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thanks a lot. The hackles are Keough. Dry fly neck hackles in natural grizzly and cock saddle feathers for the dyed chartreuse feathers :0)
