The Global FlyFisher has recently been updated to a new publishing system, and there may be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.

Clouser Minnow

No comments yet

Clouser minnows are very popular and effective flies that ride hook point up to help keep from snagging. They have a great jigging action, and work really well to get fish on the line. They have been tied many ways through the years, and I tie them other ways as well, but this is the original way they were tied, and some would argue that its still the best way. Chartreuse and white is probably the most popular color pattern for this fly. This fly can be fished in both salt and freshwater, for a number of species.

Hook: Gamakatsu SS15 size 1/0
Thread: Danville 70 - chartreuse
Weight: Lead dumbbell eye
Flash: Krystal Flash - chartreuse
Fiber: Bucktail - white/chartreuse

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
