Description

The Clouser Minnow is one of the most effective flies ever made. We sell it here in Tutti Fruitti color (we call it Grapefruit). Makes for a great general attractor pattern, especially for off colored water. When Bob Clouser developed this fly, we wonder if he had any idea the impact that it would have on the fly fishing world. Lefty Kreh once said that the Clouser is the best underwater fly ever developed. Not enough can be said about this fly. For many anlgers, if they had to fish one pattern this would be it. Saltwater, freshwater, rivers, lakes, trout, bonefish, bass, jacks and crappies, the list of where and for what goes on. The Clouser Minnow in Gray/White is one of our top producing colors for smallmouth and largemouth and also effective in the salt. We carry the Clouser Minnow here in Grapefruit Size #2 and Size 6. These are tied on heavy duty stainless hooks so equally at home in fresh or salt water. The size 2 generally measure just shy of 4" long and the size 6 come in at about 2 3/4".
