Ostrich Tailed Deceiver

  This version of Lefty's Deceiver is fantastic when you want a bit more movement in your fly. The ostrich will move more at slower speeds than the traditional saddle hackle, but can still be fished at pace when needed. You can confidently fish this fly for fresh and salt water predators from trout to tarpon, it just works for everything.

Baby Tarpon Marabou

  A slightly modernised version of the baby tarpon marabou fly listed in Lefty's book. This pattern will work for babies and giants alike, and is certainly a useful pattern for the Yucatan lagoons. Tie them in your preferred colours and sizes to suit your fishing.

The Cockroach

  The cockroach is as simple as they come but it's an absolute killer pattern for tarpon and loads of other predator fish species. It's another pattern that Lefty Kreh considered a must have in the tarpon box. That's certainly good enough for me!
