Description

Two (2) custom Clouser Minnow patterns with the highest quality materials and methods on B10S (nickel black) or SL11-3H (tin silver) Gamakatsu hooks. Perhaps the most effective fly ever for both salt and fresh water. All tie-ins anchored with Loctite and then UV Craft UV Resin is cured over all the wraps making these Clousers bomb-proof. I prefer to use faux bucktail due to its durability, but I can use natural if preferred. Polar/crystal flash lateral lines. I tie a size 1 about 4 1/2” long and size up and down from there about 1/2” per hook size, but happy to customize the length per your preference. Free fly puck with your first order. Orders over $50 ship free. FlyEnthusiast.com is a Trout Unlimited Business Member. Thank you!

Field Notes

A Clouser Minnow is a versatile fly for both saltwater and freshwater situations where baitfish are present. It is commonly stripped on a sinking or intermediate line with short, sharp retrieves to imitate fleeing prey. The pattern is especially useful around structure, drop-offs, and current seams.

Pros

  • Highly versatile for both salt and fresh water
  • Durable construction with UV resin and Loctite reinforcement
  • Effective baitfish imitation

Cons

  • Requires fly-fishing gear and a stripping retrieve
  • Best performance often depends on using the right sinking line
