Fly Tying

clouser swap

Recommended Posts

Mine are in the mail. (Went out priority mail on Tuesday)

 

Black clouser with green flash.

 

A good strong local pattern. I tried some machined brass eyes from Spirit River on these, as I hate sending lead on swap flies. (Some people fish in lead free areas) The eyes are pretty big, but fairly light, so I used a slightly larger eye than normal to keep the fly heavy. I fished one today, but the weather has the fish shut right down up here.

 

Enjoy!

Dave

Thanks,

Littleman and clouser swappers,

 

I am sorry but my flies will be in the mail tomorrow AM. I will be over the deadline by a day or two as they should arrive on Monday or Tuesday of next week. No excuses, just a busy month and my tying time has been nill.

 

Sorry,

PM him just to be sure.

 

Fished a Clouser Minnow during lunch, landed a fat 2lb Blue Gill. So as you can guess I'm "chomping at the bit" to see what everyone has tied up. :headbang:

That's a talkaboutit Blue Gill. I am usually happy with big as my hand type. If you have the clouser pattern that you will share that would be great.

It was a basic Clouser Pattern:

Olive and White Deer Hair

Black 6/0 Thread

H2O Twist

#8 Streamer Hook

Dumbell Eyes

 

The Clouser was tied by a 10 year old girl. I'd say she did a pretty good job. It's been a hit with Blue Gills, Large Mouth and a couple of Rainbows. Sometimes simple works best.

Thank you.

Sometimes the young nimble hands can be quite skillful with a little coaching.
