Clouser Minnow

Bucktail Clouser is a classic pattern that is simple in design yet highly effective. The bucktail creates the profile of any minnow and the weight of the dumbbell eyes gets it down to the fish. We like to fish this fly for local Minnesota bass, however, it also is great for many other species in both freshwater and saltwater. This is easy to tie and a great fly to add to a streamer box. Below is the recipe.

Thread: Black 6/o UNI

Hook: #8-1/o streamer

Eyes: Dumbbell

Overwing: Color (ie. Red, Chartruese, Brown, etc.) Bucktail, tied on bottom of the shank

Underwing: White Bucktail, tied on top of the shank and folded over the eyes
