Deceiver Variant - Underwater footage! - Lefty Kreh's most popular streamer

This is a great fly for saltwater applications, but also can be used for larger freshwater fish like bass, salmon, or pike. While they aren't the most easy to tie, they aren't difficult either, and they really do catch fish. They move so nicely in the water. This is a variant of the original "lefty's Deceiver" in which it was tied slightly different. I find this way is better for smaller flies, and the original way is great for much larger flies.
