CLOUSER DEEP MINNOW

The Clouser Deep Minnow or Clouser Minnow was originally tied by Bob Clouser to imitate small baitfish to target largemouth bass in the U.S. and has found its way to just about every corner of the globe. For good reason, it catches fish and does so consistantly. A friend of mine, Peter Morse who is the host of SBS's WILDFISH program, believes that any fish will take a chartreuse & white clouser and it is one of Flip Pallots, famed American flyfishing guru, favourite bonefish flies.
This fly has accounted for as wide a variety of fish from flathead to bonefish to XOS golden trevally in Queenslands Hervey Bay area.
