The Half & Half is a proven saltwater and freshwater baitfish pattern that combines the best elements of two classics—the Clouser Minnow and the Lefty’s Deceiver. Designed by Bob Clouser and Lefty Kreh, this hybrid fly pairs the Deceiver’s long, flowing saddle hackles and bleeding gills with the Clouser’s deer hair body and weighted eyes for a pattern that swims deep, maintains an enticing motion, and tracks perfectly in the water. The result is a fly that pushes water, flashes naturally, and triggers strikes from species ranging from striped bass and redfish to tarpon, snook, and even freshwater predators like pike and bass. Versatile, durable, and incredibly effective, the Half & Half is a pattern that stands the testament of time.
