The Lefty’s Deceiver is a popular streamer fly pattern that was created by renowned fly angler Lefty Kreh in the 1950s. It was designed primarily for targeting striped bass in the Chesapeake Bay, mimicking the appearance of smelt, a common forage fish. The Deceiver is known for its ability to swim well in the water and can be tied in various colors and sizes to match different baitfish.
