J.C. Bob, thought you died years ago! I remember when you designed this fly and have copied it for years.. So glad to see you are on this side of the daisies! I have caught so many species of fish with your pattern. I suggest to all to simply tie 50 of these, short, long, thick, thin, and fish from there. this pattern will become a go-to pattern on any lake or river. Thanks so much Bob for your contribution to fishing, You are such a legend!

What a simple and effective pattern. Thanks to Bob Clouser for allowing this video to be filmed and put onto KZfaq for all of our benefit. The oval and angle technique is something new to me I'm looking forward to trying on the vice this year.

Thank you Bob for sharing your technique. Please don't be upset with the critics. They permeate the internet and have nothing good to offer. Great work and thank you again.

I watched a couple of videos on tying the clouser before finding this one. Mr. Clouser is simply in a class of his own. Great video and great teaching skills.

Bob you are a genius to think up the Clouser minnow! It’s such an effective fly in both salt and fresh water.

I was lucky to get to video him. He’s a great teacher. We also had casting lessons from him that day.

This is by far the best demo videos of the Clouser Minnow I have every seen. I meet Bob at the NC Fly Fishing Show in Raleigh last year. It was honor to watch him tie and attend his casting demonstrations. Many thanks for posting this video.

There are lots of ways to tie a Clouser and this looks to be a good one. Since this video is made by Bob Clouser I would say this is the best and most authoritative technique I've seen. Good for you, Bob, and thanks for the video. I'll be tying streamers using your methods from now on. John

It's hard to go wrong following the creator of the fly. Thanks for the comment. Bob was a true gentleman letting me do this video. If you ever get a chance for a casting lesson from him dont miss it!

Just met Bob at the Virginia Fly Fishing Festival this weekend. A pleasure, he gave a very interesting presentation on small mouth and large mouth bass fishing on the fly. Enjoyed it and learned a lot..

YES! The original Clouser Minnow has the dumbbell eyes one third the way down the hook shank rather than just behind the hook eye. Good to see the originator of the pattern show us the correct way of positioning the eyes.....

Probably the single greatest fly ever created....... And yet so simple

I've never seen anyone not do the figure eight to secure the eyes. Glad to know even the inventor does it the way I do.lol

21 thumbs down? Must surely be for the editing and camera work. I could listen to Bob Clouser's voice all day long.

Pikeandslippers - I didn’t plan on filming when I went to the event. It was a last minute thing and ended up using a GoPro for the wide shot...less than ideal. But the information is priceless - and free.

@@FlyFishVideo it wasn't so much a criticism, as an observation of the only thing I could think as to why folk would thumbs down it. For me, it should have no dislikes at all.

Since Bob clouser is the originator of this fly I wouldn't expect to see him tie it wrongly!

I've caught more bass and pickerel on this fly than any other. Classic pattern that works extremely well in fresh and saltwater.
