Chartreuse/ White Deceiver Mini

The Chartreuse/White Deceiver Mini is a compact variation of the classic Chartreuse/ White Deceiver fly, designed specifically for surface fly fishing in saltwater environments. As a surface fly, it is crafted to create significant disturbances on the water, mimicking the behavior of baitfish in distress. This mini version maintains the essential characteristics of the original Deceiver, with a chartreuse and white color scheme that effectively imitates small baitfish. The top portion of the fly is adorned with chartreuse and black bucktail, while the underside is white, creating a natural and appealing look to predatory fish. In addition to its coloration, the Blue/White Deceiver Mini incorporates features a cupped face to enhance its surface disturbance and popping action, making it more attractive to predatory species.

The Chartreuse/White Deceiver Mini is particularly effective for targeting a wide range of predatory saltwater species. Its design to create large disruptions on the water surface makes it ideal for aggressive fish that are attracted to surface commotion. Anglers can use this fly in various saltwater habitats, such as flats, reefs, and estuaries. The retrieval technique typically involves short, sharp strips to create a popping or splashing sound, simulating a wounded or fleeing baitfish. This action often provokes explosive strikes from species like tarpon, snook, stripers, and even offshore species. The Chartreuse/White Deceiver Mini is a versatile and exciting fly to use, offering anglers the thrill of visual strikes and the effectiveness of a proven baitfish imitation.
