Fly Tying Tutorial: Fish-Skull Disco Deceiver
Paul Brown’s Disco Deceiver Is a Big Flashy Streamer With Tons of Swimming Action
For targeting everything from pike to brown trout in endless color combinations, the Disco Deceiver is plenty of fun to fish and tie. Combining Fish-Skull Articulated Fish-Spines in the middle of the fly's body gives it two extra break points for movement and a Fish-Skull Baitfish Head helps get this fly to the strike zone quickly.

Have always enjoyed your fly tying segments. Not only do they teach me new techniques but also seeing how to use new materials.
Thank you for all you do.
