Hook: Partridge Size 1.
Thread: Mono
Tail: White Bucktail and feathers.
Body: Silver Oval tinsel.
Throat: Pink Bucktail
Wing: Blue Polar Bear.

Tied on a size one. The deciever isnt to hard but there are a few more steps than a clouser.

1. First you should get either 2 or 4 white feather's and tie them into the tail of the fly as in the picture.

2. Then you tie in the bucktail, hold it on with a few loose wraps firstly then push down on top of the bucktail to spread it around the hook evenly. The secure it in with a few tighter wraps. You dont want too much bucktail as it will be very bulky.

3. Now you want to tie in some tinsel towards the tail of the fly and wrap it towards the eye of the hook in touching turn's or with spaces if you want.

4. Now you tie in the red or pink throat under the hook, I used pink bucktail here, it acts as a feature on the fly like the gills. Also tie in some flashy stuff here as well.

5. Next you can tie some Polar bear fur on top of the hook you can either leave it here like in the picture or add another bunch underneath the fly. I normally would only tie it in on the top.

6. The finished fly.

You can add some eyes on as well at the eye of the hook if you want as an extra attracter. You can also use bucktail instead of Polar bear or all polar bear it has a very fluid motion in the water compared to bucktail.
