The Clouser Minnow

Postby corkconian » Wed Jan 20, 2021 10:12 pm

Hi All,

If you do any sort of SWFF then this is definitely one of the best flies to keep in your box and is extremely easy to tie. Its great for targeting Sea Trout, Bass and Pollock.

jigs are so productive anywhere you fish. You'd be daft not to have a few in your box!

Completely new to salt water fly fishing having fishing various places for trout over the years. What would be the size of fly you would recommend works best for someone starting out?

Hey Hall87,
For smaller fish, Setrout etc I use from size 14-8
Bass and pike, 1 and up. Sakuma 410 is excellent and won’t break the bank
