BULKhead Deceiver
This is a fly tying step-by-step of a BULKhead Deceiver by the man himself, Bob Popovics.
Bob says, “Fleye is a BULKhead Deceiver but every bucktail step is flared to get a wide profile throughout the fleye’s length. Super skinny saddles are added for movement and color.
Modified Step by Step…..”
Bucktail squeezed side to side and flared up and down.
Add super skinny saddles for action and color. One at a time.
Next bucktail application. Shorter than first tie when flared to start taper. Butts are pushed back and saved to create BULK.
