Caught a lot of fish in the Sanibel, Pine Island, Matlacha area on a white leftys deceiver with some peacock herl and crystal flash over the back of the fly. It does a good job imitating the whitebait in the area. Snook, tarpon, trout all round great pattern. Tied on a number 2 through 1/0 hook for the smaller backwater fish.
Also if you get the chance stop by Lehrs Economy Tackle in north Ft. Myers. Great small shop with a great fly department.
Same fly is my go-to up here in the Homosassa/Crystal River area.
