Tying The Microclouser: Downsizing A Classic/ Tim On The Fly

- In one of his books, Bob Clouser described the deep minnow, which we've come to know simply as the Clouser minnow, as more of a system of fly design than a set pattern. There have been a lot of riffs on his idea over the years by a lot of talented tyers. And me. My most successful variations have involved finding materials like kip tail, squirrel tail, and rabbit fur that make it easier to tie smaller versions of the deep minnow that still maintain the features that make the original fly so effective for so many species. I hope you find this video useful and entertaining, and I hope this downsized version of a classic finds a place in your warmwater fly box.

Thanks for the video on this fly. After watching you catch all those fish in your other videos, I’ll have to tie up some of those.
Nice work Tim thanks for posting
Tim thanks from a beginner. You do a great presentation and keep it simple to understand. Glad I found your videos.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.
Very nice fly. I know my box needs some of these. Thank you for the tutorial.
Many of my thrifty friends will use bead chain for dumbbell eyes. They don't have the weight as lead or nickel, but will work. I have a hard time finding calf tail with the length that you show. I will need to be on the lookout for them and pick though at the fly shops.
And the even more thrifty will buy their bead chain at the hardware store rather than the fly shop. It does take some digging to find good length in calf tail, but it's worth going through them to find it. Sadly, some of my best finds were at Yager's, which is no more. I tend to load up when I find good ones, so I haven't had to look for them lately.
Grey squirrel are used for crappies and bluegill.
I've had success with grey and fox squirrel.
Tim, C an you tell me what style of hook you use to tie the microclouser in the video.
It's a Kona BDF (Barbless Dry Fly) hook in size 12. What I'm looking for in a hook for microclousers is a wide gap to increase the hook up ratio on bony mouthed fish. The lighter wire you typically find in dry fly hooks usually doesn't matter as long as it's not so light it bends out too easy.
Backwards winding of the thread, that's where I have to move on!!
I'm left handed and learned sitting across from my right handed dad as a kid. Doesn't really matter which way you wind (the fly works either way) as long as you stay consistent. Sorry if that's a deal breaker for you, but I've done it this way for thirty plus years and the fish have yet to complain.
Na, if you wrap them backwards you have to fish them in the southern hemisphere.
