Given the way my colon was feeling most of the week, I didnt have a chance to tie until yesterday. That being said, I tied up 30 clousers in 6 different color combos with 5 of each. Clearly I am starting to feel better. Well I used to fish clousers but could never find them in the sizes I really wanted. Once I discovered poppers, I lost all interest in subsurface flies for smallies. I know, I know I am wrong. I get it. That is why I decided to try to tie some clousers. I had never tied any before. I hate wasting money of flies I could tie plus there is something to be said for catching fish on flies you yourself tie. So I sat down yesterday and came up with 6 different color combos I wanted to try. I went with the standard chartreuse over white, brown over orange, green over orange, green over yellow, gray over white with gray flash and gray over white with silver flash. I made five of each thinking they would last for a while. All of them are tied on a size 10 2X long nymph hook. Again, I was looking for something smaller and light weight. Here they are. Let me know what you all think.
Looks great! I still have yet to tie a clouser.
ReplyDeleteThanks brother. They are very easy to tie.
ReplyDeleteAwesome looking flies. I would fish any of those patterns, they all should get the attention of the fish.
ReplyDeleteLook good to me!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill and Anthony
ReplyDeleteNice ties bro! Love the color combo's. Clousers are some of my fav's.
ReplyDeleteNice bunch of Clousers! My #1 White Bass pattern

ReplyDeleteGreat tying. Smallies are suckers for a Mickey Finn pattern.
ReplyDeleteThanks John. Mickey Finn huh? I will have to look it up. Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeletesmallies on a mickey fin? Thats good to know. I tied some a month or so ago just to try them
ReplyDeleteI have a friend that swears his life on orange of white with red eyes. I never had much luck with them.
ReplyDeleteAwesome looking flies! Clousers are probably my favorite saltwater flies to not only fish, but tie.
ReplyDeleteIt's tough to find a saltwater fish that won't hit a clouser :)
