May 21. 2011	The Clouserish	Very inspired by the Clouser style as well as the Thunder Creek, but not tied quite as any of the originals. The Clouser-ish will still go in the Clouser Deep Minnow category, and as all these flies it's an excellent and easy-to-tie fly.
May 21. 2011	Clouser Deep Minnow	Only a few patterns are as generally useful and widespread as the Clouser Deep Minnow.
