Tying Video: Mike Schmidt's Double Deceiver

[Lancer09]

Do you fish the Chubby Muffin Much, I know it's an awesome fly, and I fish it for bass but haven't had a whole lot of luck with trout on it. Maybe I just haven't given it enough shots (only one or two) on the other hand I LOVE bucktail for clousers. I think when you tie them to thick is when they just don't get any movement out of the bucktail, but when tied sparser the flaring and compressing bucktail does is awesome on a clouser.

For my clousers I hardly use any hair at all, just enough to have something on the hook and have had more luck, the sparser that i tie them.

To this Post. I tied a DD last night. it's huge, do you usually fish them in that white/pink/blue? imitates a baby rainbow is what it looks to me, and it looks like it would kill on some big stripers.

Like you, I have only fished the Chubby Muffin a couple of times and can't really say that I have had a ton of luck on it. BUT, I don't hold anything against ANY pattern that I haven't fished hard for a long time--if a Chubby Muffin lands on the head of a giant brown....it is going to be eaten.

I tied bucktail Clousers for a long time too and then I had Kyle Kosovich throw an EP Fiber Clouser in my hand and I haven't tied any more out of bucktail since. Totally personal preference, I like the fact that I can get that slightly transparent look with EP that I can't with bucktail. But has a bucktail Clouser caught around 2 billion percent more fish than an EP Clouser? Yes, yes it has.

The profile of that DD will slim down when it gets in the water so the dry DD is crazy big. So here is a picture of a couple of Dry Double Deceivers

And here is a wet Double Deceiver

We actually threw the DD for Whites and Stripers this year....it was a funky white and striper season here but it did stick some Whites and some small Spotted Bass....got some Great video for the Spring video of this huge fly in their mouth.

Sorry, couldn't resist, an armada of DD's from Mike S., drool....

I know....that dude ties a TON of flies. If you haven't checked out his blog--you need to.

While you are there you will without a doubt see a fly called the Meal Ticket. I have already shot the video for that fly and I have to say....probably the coolest video I have done to date.

Slick tie, Brian, I'll have to spin some up for smallies

Yep, been there a bunch, really like Senyo Laser dub on the flies. There's some interesting crayfish patterns on there also.

Laser Dub....greatest stuff ever. I have a package of every color they make. If it bulked just a little better I would never use wool again.

Thanks! The DD has worked for trout (of course), white bass, largemouth, and spotted bass so far--guarantee smallies will eat these things!

I'll have to see it to believe it, only the best fishermen could catch anything on that fly.
