After spending some time on pineview this last week I found my stash of clousers a little low. So time to pull the vise out again.
Low? Are you giving them away?[;)]
Seems that way, the fish kept stealing them they liked em so much.[:P]
Tell them you want them back! LOL I am lucking out. Had to replace very few this year. Mostly my Carp Egg as they mutilate it after about 6 to 10 Carp.
That big box I tied up is like a library, what goes out, must come back or be replaced. Much easier that way.
So true! It’s a good thing my Saturdays are spent in Colorado so I have time to tie.
Tomorrow after my fishing trip I shall post up a few of the great woolly buggers I’ve made and a fail at scud pattern. The scud took a big U turn and turned into something random. ![]()
I’m supprised that my first woolly bugger or first fly look like one that you buy at a shop but modified with a few tweaks and turns.
So stocked to make ELK HAIR CADDIS just fill up a box just with EHC soon [;)]
I don’t have my bugger box with me or I would show you my creations.
Clouser is one of those flies I don’t fish. I don’t like tying them and don’t like casting them.
Do you have just a ton of success with clousers? What color combos do you use the most?
I find they are easy to tie. I have used chartreuse/white and olive/white and gotten hits and follows.
I am with you on the casting end. Easy enough to tie, but one mistake or a gust and a clip of the rod. The is is wait to see “when” it will break[;)] Why I don’t like sink tips either[:)] But can get use to them and the fact they sink super fast.
There are some waters however, that it is either clouser or no fish. Nice roll cast[;)]
But we do use that Type VII that clousers any fly…LOL
Sadly I haven’t even caught a fish on one of those guys yet but still trying…[:(]
It was nice the first time I fished with it that I could sight fish. Interesting to see how the action was with different retrieves.
clousers are the bomb
and they work well from shore as well
what the hell, im having an issue embedding these 2 images so here
Nice fish thanks for sharing.
Off to the Gorge on Friday to hopefully hook up some Bows’ on Cicada’s but I hear the Bass are getting pretty active…so…
Ha ha ha looks like a big minnow party for the bass.[;)]
Wow that’s a lot of clousers. Looks like you’re all set for some fun.
