Andino Trout Deceiver

Cheech - March 2026

In this video, I’m scaling down the legendary Andino Deceiver for a more versatile, trout-focused version. After discovering this fly was developed in the same Argentine province where I lived as a teenager, I wanted to see how it performed as a smaller streamer. This downsized version retains the iconic profile and movement of the original but is perfectly suited for trout in any river. It’s a blast to tie in different colors, and because it’s so adaptable, you can match almost any baitfish in your local waters. If you’re looking for a proven streamer pattern with a deep history, this "Trout Andino" is a must-try.
