Featured Fly - Fish Mask Deceiver

This guy is tied just like Mike Schmidt's double deceiver, however it is only the back half of the fly. There are many different colors, styles, and sizes of the deceiver, but one this will always be the same, I love this fly. I fish deceivers for everything, trout, bass, stripers, and pike. My recent trip to VT, is the motivation behind this fly, on top of Fish Skulls new sick product "fish masks". We have had great luck with smallmouth using this fly, and going to VT and watching the pike destroy anything orange was just crazy, so here we go.

Materials:
Hook: Partridge Predator - 2 to 6/0
Tail: Schlappen Feathers - Color to match Deer Hair
Flash: Flashabou or Holo Flashabou 
Body: Deer Hair - 2 Contrasting colors

Step 3: Add a clump of flashabou, making the length of the flash about 1 inch longer than the feather.


Step 4: Tie in a small clump of deer hair, on the top.


Step 5: Tie in a clump on the bottom.


Step 6: Repeat step 4 and 5.


Step 7: Repeat step 4 and 5.


Step 8: Repeat step 4 and 5.


Step 9: Tie in some flash as accent.


Step 10: Repeat step 4 and 5.


Step 11: Repeat step 4 and 5.


Step 12: Tie in 2 longer barred hackle feathers, then add a small clump of red deer hair for the throat.


Step 13: Put a little CCG, and slide fish mask on, hit it with a uv light.
