Don’t get me wrong, I love the Clouser minnow, and fish it all the time. But you have to admit this is just a buck tail jig for the fly angler.

Gorgeous fly, but the pitch of your voice diving at the end of every sentence will haunt my dreams till the day I die. Great fly though.

So many incredible little details that so many tyers miss. Met him and Lefty at the TFO booth in Denver 15 yrs ago. Both great guys. Bob told a funny story that he was doing a demo at a show on this fly and a very determined young man kept telling him he was doing it wrong. He knew because he had just learned how to tie this fly in his fly tying club the week before. Needless to say they all had a great laugh....WITH the kid, when the kid's buddies told him who he was talking to.

An absolute treasure. So simple and fun to tie. It will catch anything that swims. Just made 2 new ones for the WI opener this weekend.

I saw him tie a few years ago. I started moving the led eye further down the shank like he does. Now my clousers glide and sink more evenly and not in a nose first jigging motion.
@WimU2b7 ай бұрын
It surprised me to see him place the eyes halfway the hook. He didn't mention why, but now i know. So logical .. Thanks!

Yep, that's a huge detail I discovered too.

This is one of the best instructional videos I've watch. Having it demonstrated by Bob is an honor. His Clouser helped me catch my first Oio (bonefish) here in Hawaii.

I bought some clousers from Bob’s shop 25 years ago, bought them from him that day. I still have some of those in my box today.

One of my favorite patterns. My favorite fly for Chinook Salmon in Chile. Deep finder, easy to tie, cheap and so effective. Thanks to Bob for that one. 😁

Species I have caught with various color and size Clousers: Ling Cod, Rockfish (several varieties), Kelp Greenling, Sea Run Cuthroat, Bull Trout (in saltwater), Sculpin, Striped Bass, Coho Salmon, Chum Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Lahotan Cutthroat Trout. Next up going to try it for Bonefish in Hawaii. Thanks for a great fly! It's my "confidence fly" in saltwater.

Brilliant. A classic. Still works today. I was using a Marryat reel and caught a large fish. A fisherman came over and asked tosee the fly. After looking at the fly he noticed the reel and said "that was a good reel in its day." Out of my smart moouth popped - "Good thing the fish don't know what year this is." Same for the Clouser Minnow - a classic that works. I like it in yellow slow and deep for Fall run Brown Trout. Thanks for the tying instructions.
