Most people know that the Susquehanna River was the birthplace of the Clouser minnow. Bob Clouser's shop in Middletown is a must stop if you visit the area. Just about any color combination is successful at one time or another. My favorites are olive over white, chartreuse over white, gray over white, and brown over orange.

Love the clouser minnow my 2 favorites are all white with white lead eyes, or chartreuse over white with red lead eyes both have caught many a bass for me.

I have used clouser's for every thing from trout to blue gills. I like to use pearle braid on the hook shank and I tie in some flash before I tie in the buck tail.

PET Blue NJ

Black and blue colors are great no matter where you are fishing for salmon or sea trout. The PET Blue is just one of several colors of Nils Jorgensen's PETs. They are great in all sizes and easy to tie on the new Pro Tube System.

Trout beads

Trout beads aren't beads in the traditional fly tying sense but perfect imitations of salmon eggs and deadly efficient for rainbows. And they can be fished on a fly rod.

Washing your materials

If you never tried washing a newly bought saddle, neck or bucktail, it's about time you try! Proper treatment can transform the useless to useful and the mediocre to sublime.

Martin's Mundane Zonker Worm

For many saltwater anglers the term "worm hatch" has a magical ring to it. When the polychaete worms swim freely to spawn, the fish usually go berserk, be it trout, stripers, tarpon or a number of other species. As one writer puts it: It's like yelling "free lunch" to a high school football team.
