Traverse City, MI, area guide & friend, Russ Maddin introduced me to one of his favorite patterns to target large, migratory predators along the Great Lakes shorelines. The Flash Deceiver is a creation of saltwater angler, Mark Sedotti. Russ adds his own twist moving the barbell eyes far forward on the hook eye to get a bit more motion out to of the fly. This pattern is a great addition to any fly box destined for Great Lakes use. Very simple recipe:
Hook: Short shank & strong
Tail: Use your favorite flash materials and keep long
Wing: Bucktail with peacock herl topping
Belly: Bucktail
Eyes: Barbell style
