Great Lakes Deceivers

The Great Lakes Deceiver is a 21st century version of Lefty Kreh’s timeless pattern.  We tie them in standard, 4″ jointed, 6″ jointed, and 8″ versions.  Easy to cast and showing a big profile, the fly is usually the first one we tie on in the morning and often it’s still there at the end of the day (although a bit mangled).  We have colors to match the predominant baitfish and some great attractors too.

Great Lakes Jointed Deceivers and MaraDeceivers – 4″ Length

New variation of one of our most productive patterns and 4″ size with weighted helmet really fit a need!  In low water or bright conditions this is just a killer pattern for big browns.  Also in low light when depth is not needed fishing these on a floating line can be very productive for big browns.  Mid summer floating lines with a long leader and these are our top Smallmouth Bass streamer. The MaraDeceiver is a new variation of one of our most productive patterns and 4″ long.  Marabou has been used along with buck tail giving the fly more action at slow speed.  Fly is not weighted at all and ideal for running just below surface or with a heavy sink non weight fly has lots of action with slow strip.

White River Trout Love Shad!

In the winter months its hard to beat a shad pattern to catch a nice trout!  February is the month for shad kills coming thru Bull Shoals Dam and when they get heavy big brown will feed heavy on them.  Rainbows just love these shad also!
