The Clouser Minnow is a tremendously popular and effective fly that will catch a variety of both freshwater and saltwater species. Designed by Bob Clouser, a Pennsylvania guide and fly shop owner whose original fly patterns were designed for fishing on the Susquehanna river. Today, Clouser Minnows are tied in a variety of color combinations and materials to imitate bait-fish in fisheries worldwide. Especially popular for Striped Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Redfish.
