The Clouser Minnow was originally developed as a smallmouth bass pattern by smallmouth guide, Bob Clouser. Since then, it has become a universal fly for all types of species and is easily the most popular saltwater pattern around. It has become a staple for bonefish, small tuna, jacks, and in the Northwest, the most popular pattern for salmon and sea-run cutthroat trout in the salt. Olive and white has been a great all-purpose color for us for bass and saltwater.
