Bucktail Deceiver Trolling Fly-BLUEBACK HERRING
Blueback herring are traditionally an important baitifsh in the ocean for growing trophy-sized stripers in the nutrient rich wates off the Northeast US. The mixed color combination of blues, greens, and purples in the upper back are also a similar coloration characteristic associated with alewives, the dominant and significant foragefish for trout and salmon in the Great Lakes. The Bucktail Deceiver trolling fly in blueback herring strongly represents both these species. This pattern is specifically designed for trophy Great Lakes and saltwater king salmon, steelhead, lake trout, brown trout, and other trophy freshwater and saltwater gamefish. Fly comes custom-rigged with 30- to 50-pound flurocabon leader connected with a single Gamakatsu octopus hook dependent on length of fly. The 3-inch models comes equipped with 30-pound flurocarbon leader and 4-inches and above come equipped with 50-pound leader. The 7-inch model and above comes custom-rigged with a double single-octopus hook system. Models 6-inches above feature an upper back custom dressed with dyed royal blue grizzly dry fly saddle feathers in combination with royal blue holographic flashabou. Additional strands of peacock herl are also tied in the upper back on all length models. Treble hook is avaialble upon request. (Message about treble hook stinger in checkout notes).
