Craft Fur Clouser Tutorial

[@69adrummer]

Love these tutorials! Not a bunch of over-hyped music, that classic YT "Hey, what's up guys?!?!?!?!?!" jock-talk.........just simple, honest, mature instruction that everyone can follow!

[@philstevens6934]

You are a terrific instructor. Great detailed explanations. One thing that would help is an explanation/demo of how much craft fur you used. I have tied Clousers with deer hair so I know that proportion. Given the difference in material diameters the amount of craft fur must be different. I will definitely tie these up for us on the Shenandoah River this spring (if it ever shows up). Again, many thanks and keep up the great videos.

Thanks for cleaning up that hook eye with a hot bodkin at the end. It was buggin' me. I was thinking bic lighter, but whatever works. You sure got a LOT of material on that hook. A lot of guys would say sparser is better, but yours looks great. Inspiring.

[@philstevens6934]

If anyone tells you that craft fur is easier to work with than deer hair, check to make sure they have not just come from a bar. Craft fur makes a major mess, is difficult to cut from the patch, and is hard to tie down on the hook. This just means I will keep working with it since it does make great looking flies.

Some excellent tips in this vid. Thanks.

awesome pattern. I will be tying some of these up.

I like that little "sneak a few wraps under the material to keep it from spinning" trick. I must have missed that when I was attending the KZbin Fly Tying Academy. 🙂

I fish mostly Lakes and you mentioned if you want more movement to try the craft fur. Never even thought about how the craft fur would be better. Thank you for your videos! It’s the highlight of the winter tying season!

Great fly going to tie some for the murray cod here in Australia.

Have fun!

What a great variation. I tie a Barry's carp bitter in this size with yellow and orange and have landed Pke and Musky in the 30" range so I definitely would use the proper tippet in case with this Perch pattern. Thank you

[@bigron8346]

That's an awesome fly . Thank you!

[@WilliamRockseo]

Wow, wow and x1000000 thanks this helped me big time and cannot wait to learn more from your channel

[@AdrianStruwig]

Awesome fly! Definately going to try this pattern on Perch in the summer!!!

[@donmoroz5502]

Excellent presentation!

[@christopherkwasny5333]

This is absolutely killer

[@MNSkeetFamily]

Another great tutorial. I am going to tie some of these tonight! Thanks so much!

[@TheNorthernAnglerFlyShop]

Awesome! Have fun, send us some pictures.

[@chuckkimmel4095]

Awesome job thanks for taking your time and explaining what your doing.

[@TheNorthernAnglerFlyShop]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching

[@philstevens6934]

Clearly the size 2 hook works for you. Given the amount of material used I am tempted to use a longer shank hook due to the fact that I have crowded the hook eye more than a few times. Again, many thanks.

[@LDHAl412]

Nice Tie good camera work

[@christopherkwasny5333]

So dope! I have to tie that!

[@philstevens6934]

Here is the material list: HOOK: Gamakatsu B10s (size 2) THREAD: Veevus 140 EYES: Double Pupil Eyes (size large) BODY: Extra Select Craft Fur FLASH: Krystal Flash ACCENT FEATHERS: MFC Barred Saddles, Whiting Bugger Pack, Deceiver Patches WING: Ripple Ice Fiber or Electric Ripple Ice Fiber GLUE: Wapsi Z-Ment

Given how difficult it is to cut craft fur, it would be very helpful if you would video exactly how you cut the fur from the backing. Thanks

[@Deerfish100]

That’s pretty sweet dude

[@mwiltfang4618]

You're what Kelly Galloup would be if he stopped the intravenous caffeine.

[@TheCanary24]

So nice! Just a single proposal from me: less is more:) you over dressed a bit şn my oppnion…

[@glennplatvoet7111]

You have to much weight to cast

[@danielsmith1925]

Lol what ??

[@rustymeadows3482]

That's a long ways from being a Clouser...🥸

[@markinnis8404]

This is a rather heavily dressed Clouser minnow. Very beautiful, but the attractive thing about a Clouser minnow is the sparseness of materials. This is a very beautiful fly...no doubt about that!😊
