When you strip, the legs sweep back, and on the pause, they flare out and vibrate, triggering strikes from following fish. For bottom-feeding bonefish, let the fly settle on the sand and give it small twitches to create a puff of sediment, simulating a shrimp digging for cover.

The Big Fish Deceiver is tied with a ton of natural movement that draws fish in, so it pays to utilize a retrieve that maximizes the motion. The Big Fish Deceiver can be fished any time of the year, and some of the most popular color choices are chartreuse over white and gray over white. Whether you're staring down the Montauk lighthouse searching for bass and blues or hitting a river filled with greasy Esox, the Big Fish Deceiver should always be one of your go-to's.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eColors Available:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue\/white, Chartreuse\/white, Gray\/white\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eSizes Available:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3\/0\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Umpqua","offers":[{"title":"Blue\/White \/ 3\/0","offer_id":48477479796969,"sku":"SKU052857155037-SM078","price":6.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chartreuse\/White \/ 3\/0","offer_id":48477479829737,"sku":"SKU052857155020-SM077","price":6.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gray\/White \/ 3\/0","offer_id":48477479862505,"sku":"SKU052857155044-SM086","price":6.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/1846\/1673\/files\/umpqua-flies-big-fish-deceiver-fly-1199967172.jpg?v=1761694924"},{"product_id":"bishrats-pole-dancer-fly","title":"Bishrat's Pole Dancer Fly","description":"\u003cdiv data-element=\"main\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-content-type=\"html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"data item content\" id=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product attribute description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"value\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"row\" data-appearance=\"contained\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-enable-parallax=\"0\" data-parallax-speed=\"0.5\" data-background-images=\"{}\" data-background-type=\"image\" data-video-loop=\"true\" data-video-play-only-visible=\"true\" data-video-lazy-load=\"true\" data-video-fallback-src=\"\" data-element=\"inner\" data-pb-style=\"C6N6M6F\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"text\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCreated by Charlie Bisharat of Umpqua (nicknamed the “mad scientist” of fly tying), the Pole Dancer was designed for trophy striped bass fishing in California’s Delta.

Created by Captain Ray Stachelek, a legendary guide in the Northeast, this fly targets striped bass, bluefish, false albacore, and bonito.

When targeting aggressive species like false albacore or bonito, use a very fast two-handed strip to trigger a reaction strike.

It is also a top choice for spring fishing in bays and harbors. The flashy materials make it highly visible in sunny conditions, but it works well in slightly stained water too.

Tarpon lose their usual caution and feed aggressively on these small red worms as they drift in the current. The Chili Pepper Worm Fly is designed specifically for this legendary event.

Cast the fly ahead of cruising fish or drift it naturally with the current where worms are flushing out. A slow and steady retrieve often works best to mimic the swimming action of the natural worm. Keep your rod tip low and be ready for a hard strike as tarpon often hit these flies with surprising power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen To Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe prime time for this fly is during May and June in the Florida Keys.

The foam lip creates a wake, while the sequin tail adds a flash and splash that looks exactly like a panicked shrimp kicking to safety. The internal rattle simulates the clicking noise shrimp make, adding an auditory trigger that many standard surface flies lack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow To Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFish this fly on a floating line with a stout leader to turn over the wind-resistant foam body. Use a rhythmic strip-strip-pause retrieve. The strips should be sharp enough to make the fly \"pop\" and spray water, while the pause allows the rubber legs to wiggle and the rattle to settle. The noise and disturbance are often enough to trigger aggressive strikes from fish that might ignore a quieter presentation. It is excellent for working over grass beds or along mangrove shorelines where you need to call fish out of cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen To Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Disco Shrimp shines in low-light conditions like early morning or late evening when predatory fish are prowling the shallows. It is also a smart choice for stained or murky water, as the rattle and surface commotion help fish locate the fly even when visibility is poor.

It is not just visual; the \"click\" of the rattle and the \"pop\" of the sequin create a unique acoustic footprint that drives fish crazy.

From there, this fly sports an olive Diamond Braid underbody with a trimmed EP Foxy Brush over top.
