This is one of my first ties...a nice little clouser ready to be sacrificed to whatever is willing to bite it; I now try and tie them with a little less bucktail on top. Special thanks to DS for always having a camera handy.

That's only one of your first? Sweet work.

I would say I have only tied 6 flies in total Max, all were clousers. I went heavy on the flash with this fly as it was intended for the bluefish. I need to pickup some more materials for some different ties next week.


I have watched a lot of videos online and spent two days at the Somerset fly fishing show picking the brains of some FF legends including Bob Clouser. What a class act Bob is; I can't say enough good things about everyone who helped at the show.


This video is of Bob Clouser showing how he ties the clouser minnow:

I just some new material in. pearl webbing ( I had some in white) but got some in yellow, blue, pink and purple. The colored versions of the pearl web should be called something else because they have little of the characteristics of the white. With that being said- I tied a bunker pattern to see how it would come out. I also got some white craft fur in to see if it will be a good synthetic bucktail (turns out my 9yr old son is allergic to the real hairs and feathers) . It is close. So I tied the craft fur on for the belly, then white pearl, then yellow, pink, purple and finished it off with black widow flash in black.







This fly is just a baitfish fly. I used real bucktail (I am hoping that since I kicked to the backroom with my stuff that my son wont be effected and I could keep on using the real stuff) white pearl (this stuff is great because if you hold it up and let the light pass through it it turns purple. If you block the light it gets a more green hue. Awesome stuff. finished it off with polar flash. for some reason I love the big eyes. I bought 1200 of them off of ebay so I got to use them up.

I noticed that to with the pearl web the silver and pearl has a straighter shape to it I wasn't fond of the other colors which as you mentioned are much more wavy I have no idea why but I prefer the straighter flash materials.

[robmedina]

I prefer the straighter flash materials.

Me too. I like the white a lot. great for baitfish. I was hoping the other colors were straight too. Oh well you can't have it all! the colored ones do give a fly some volume though (if that is what you want) I think they should change the name to kinky hair....
