The One Fly You Can't Be Without
If there's one single fly that belongs in every angler's box, from the beginner to the seasoned pro, it's the Clouser Deep Minnow. Invented by the legendary Bob Clouser, this fly isn't just a lure; it's a complete fishing system that has proven its worth on countless species around the globe.
The Magic is in the Motion
The secret lies in the unique dumbbell eyes. They get the fly down deep into the strike zone quickly, and more importantly, they force the fly to swim with the hook point facing upwards. This "keel" effect is what makes the Clouser so brilliantly snag-resistant. You can dredge the bottom of rivers for smallmouth bass or bounce it over coral for bonefish with surprising confidence.
How to Fish It:
The Clouser is incredibly easy to fish. The most common technique is a "strip-pause" retrieve. Cast it out, let it sink, then give it a short, sharp strip of your line. Pause, and let it dive again. This creates an irresistible "jigging" or "dive-and-dart" action that mimics a wounded baitfish perfectly. You can also dead-drift it under an indicator for trout or swing it across currents for salmon.
This hand-picked selection offers the most crucial colors you'll ever need. Whether you're matching local shiners or imitating a shrimp on the flats, you have the right tool. Choose your go-to colors individually, or get the entire 6-fly assortment to ensure you're always ready to conquer the water.
