Call me superstitious but I have the most luck with those Clousers that have stainless steel red eyes. I bought these a few years back and tore up the bass on the Illinois River. I have had the heck of a time finding them because The Sportsman's Warehouse went out of business. Academy has Clousers but with bead chain or painted on lead eyes.Cabela's is opening soon. Maybe they'll have what I am looking for. I mended this fly. Instead of bucktail, I utilized craft feather from Hobby Lobby. Anything to save a few bucks on flies.
I am looking forward to some more rain and fall weather - already scoped out a couple of new places on the Elk River.

ReplyDeleteThe Clouser is one of my favorite for bass, especially spots on my local Smith Lake. I am making a float trip in three weeks and the Clouser is one of the flies I will have in my box. Great Post.
