Poll Result Fly

The results from the last  poll are in. You picked   the Clouser Minnow as the fly you would throw the most for bass, here is the recipe.

  The Clouser Minnow

 

HOOK: Mustad 34007 sizes 6 to 3/0

THREAD: Color to match  6/0

EYES: Dumbell size to match hook

WINGS: Buck tail colors to match local minnows one clump tied on top of hook and one clump on bottom of hook

FLASH: 8 to 10 strands of krystal flash color to match wing

HEAD: Black Thread wrapped around dumbell eyes

 

This is a good all purpose sub surface  pattern for many of different situations. I always have a few of these guys handy when I'm heading out for the day.

I tie them to match my local minnows in the water that I will be fishing on the trip I'm taking.
