Deceiver - Chartreuse

Deceiver – Chartreuse

The Chartreuse Deceiver is the high-visibility version of Lefty Kreh's iconic saltwater pattern — built for conditions where you need a fly that gets noticed. Chartreuse is one of the most proven colors in saltwater fly fishing, cutting through off-color water, low-light conditions, and murky estuaries where natural tones disappear. The classic combination of bucktail and feathers delivers a long, flowing profile that breathes and pulses on every strip, triggering aggressive strikes from striped bass, bluefish, and other inshore predators.
