CLOUSER MINNOW FLY TYIED BY ROB GEE OF TROUTLORE FLY TYING STORE AUSTRALIA

Clouser Minnow Fly Tying Video Now Available

THE Clouser Minnow evolved from traditional bucktail streamers. This fly was created in 1987 by Bob Clouser, a Pennsylvania fly shop owner and guide. The original patterns were intended for smallmouth bass on the Susquehanna River, but is has become arguably the most effective saltwater fly pattern ever.

There are many different variations of this pattern, some with subtle differences, some to the point where they garner new names. Everyone ties them slightly differently, to achieve a similar result. THIS is how I tie my Clouser Minnow fly pattern.
