Who fishes the largest Clouser Minnow???

[waynep]

After tying my large Clouser, I am curious. I would like folks to post their recipe for their largest Clouser Minnow that they use. It has to be a real fishing fly that intended use is fishing for something. . . . Pictures welcome!

Mine is here: In This Thread

I fish a white and chartreuse half and half tied on a 0/2. I guess it's about six inches long and resembles a shad. I tie chartreuse saddle hackle on the shaft first and follow over with white. Chartreuse super hair is next then I flip the hook add flash and then white superhair. i've got a Sage vps 8wt that throws it for prespawn largemouth and walleye.

Yeah Wayne, the answer to your question would be - "I do"





The answer to your next question is - "Yeah, I got too much time on my hands at the moment."

On a more serious note, I've tied clousers up to 3/0 on Mustad 3366 hooks, in various colors using a wide variety of materials, Basically use what you find appropriate. For example on larger ones for Pike or Big Bass I like to use EP Fibers, or other similar synthetics that don't hold a ton of water.

Thanks Don, but the 5 minutes I spent doing it was really about all I was willing to invest in the creation.
