Clouser Minnow, but with LEGS - McFly Angler Fly Tying Tutorials
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2021
- Clouser Minnows are some of the most well known and fished streamers ever produced. Originally created by Bob Clouser, it has become a great streamer that works for just about any fish species that chases baitfish. Now I don't know 100% if flies like the crazy Charlie, or Gatcha have been tied based off the clouser platform, but their similarity is striking. Many bonefish flies use this same concept, and so I guess in my head I think they must have been designed off of the clouser idea. Many of those flies are tied to mimic more of a shrimp profile and use things like silicone or rubber legs to act like shrimp legs or feelers. So I naturally decided to add some rubber legs onto a craft fur version of a clouser to mimic shrimp. Now I am sure I am not the first person to do this, however I have yet to see a simple clouser with legs. But I am not claiming to be the originator of this particular variation of the clouser. If any of you know who originally tied a clouser with legs like this, please let me know.
Like the original clouser, these are fairly easy and quick to tie. You are only adding one step and thats to add the legs. However I think it does add a noticeable improvement especially when trying to mimic shrimp while fishing for species like redfish and bonefish. I did have decent luck on this pattern in some varied colors last time I went down to the Gulf to fish for redfish. Unfortunately I did not hook a red on this pattern, but did catch quite a few other species with it.

Nice take on a Clouser , your tying skills have vastly improved since I first watched some of your videos years ago . It really pays to tie a lot as far as tying good flies. Thanks for the video
Thank you
Looks like a awesome crappie fly!thanks.
Thanks for watching! Yeah I imagine it would work for them for sure!
Well this looks like an excellent pattern. Great job!
Thanks! I mean it’s just a clouser, I added some legs. Just wanted you to know I’m not claiming it’s my own pattern. Lol. More of a variation of a clouser
As always, excellent work. I'm going to tie some up on a size 10 to use as a dropper.
Thanks! Let me know how it works for ya
Excellent “Game - Changer” Pattern !!!! 🌞🌞

Great! Let me know how they work for ya
Nice lady fish, and good idea. I have been buying things for Risen and used your discount code worked out nice. 👍 sorry I thought that first fish was a lady fish but guess I was wrong 🧐
Thanks! And yeah Risen is a great resource for good prices on high quality stuff. Im super picky on who I work with, as I dont want to promote products to all of my subscribers that aren't top notch. However Risen really does have great stuff so Im proud to promote them on the channel.
Excellent 👍
Thank you
First and last fish caught are Ladyfish. Very underrated fighter!!!
Yeah they fight for sure
why the bead chain instead of dumbell eyes?
It’s lighter…. But use dumbbell if you want it to sink faster.
Bro I don't have any raw materials ,so how can I get those stuff's
In the video and description section I mentioned two shops that you can get stuff from at a discount. Use the discount codes it will save you some money. Good luck, thanks for watching
could it be used as a weed guard
What could?
Dude, trim your glue brush‼️ It's funny because mine did the same thing, adding glue to places it shouldn't be.👍
Really enjoy all your tutorials. I'm brand knew to tying and have learned so much⚠️💖
I tie so many flies I would be trimming it every day. I just deal with it. Lol
you is best
