The Clouser Deep Minnow needs no (or very little) introduction. Next to the Woolly Bugger it is one of the most popular modern flies. There are a great number of videos floating around the internet on tying the Clouser minnow including a few of Bob Clouser himself tying his iconic pattern. This video covers the method he outlined in his book "Clouser Flies". There are a number of points in tying the fly that he mentioned in the book that are often overlooked. Not that this is the only "right" way to tie the fly but many people are not aware of the method he has developed. Going with the concept that "knowledge is power" a little more knowledge can't hurt. --Enjoy
