Clouser Minnow

You will have to bear with me for a little while as I am getting used to a new camera [image]

Clouser Minnow
Hook:*4 Partridge Sea Prince
Threads Olive 6/0 and Invisible mending(or very fine nylon)
Eyes: Rainy's b&w Dumbell
Middle: Olive Chrystal Flash
Wings: white and Olive Bucktail

Step 1
set hook in vice and tie in dumbell eyes on top of hookshank using Invisible mending( I find I can get more pressure using this than when using normal tying thread) give whippings a liberal coat of Varnish.
[image]

Step 2
Attach Olive thread and tie in a bunch of Olive Chrystal Flash BEHIND the eye.
[image]

Step 3
Tie in a bunch of White Bucktail on top of the hook(because the eyes are on the top of the hook it will swim with the point up so that it doesn't snag the bottom)
[image]

Step 4
Turn the hook over in the vice and tie in a bunch of Olive Bucktail
[image]

Finished Fly
Give the head and thread at least 3 coats of varnish , I use "Sally Hansons Hard as Nails" which Clare will know about but not many of you others :-[

Very good step by step, cheers zonnkers [image]

Clousers work great for the bass, especially polar bear clousers(pink & white)

Aren't Polar Bears an endangered species? [image] Having said that I'm sure I have some lurking in a dark reccess in my flytying shed , will have look and see what it ties like , not sure about the colours though.
