Originally designed by Bob Clouser, the Clouser Minnow changed the game with its weighted eyes and jigging action, allowing anglers to fish deeper water with control and consistency.
The deep minnow variation is built to reach lower in the water column, making it especially effective around structure, channels, and drop-offs. The brown and orange sunfish colorway imitates juvenile panfish and other warmwater prey, making it especially effective in rivers, lakes, and around heavy cover.
Built on a 1/0 hook, this is a go-to pattern for both freshwater and saltwater species:
Fish it slow and near the bottom, bounce it along structure, or vary your retrieve to match depth and current.
A proven pattern that earns its place in any serious fly box.
Bring more confidence to every cast with premium, hand-tied flies built to perform wherever the water takes you. From quiet backwaters to fast-moving streams and coastal flats, these patterns are crafted with precision and made to last. Each fly is tied by skilled hands using high-quality materials and time-tested designs. With curated assortments and fair pricing, stocking your fly box is effortless. Made for anglers who take their time on the water seriously—and want gear that does the same.
