Mark: Thanks for the tips... And I do want them as weedless as possible, cause I fish in a place where the bass are in heavy cover, and last two years, due to not knowing how to tie anything weedless, I lost almost as many bass as I did flies trying to catch them LOL, I think a white bottom half, with a few strands of flash in the middle, and chartreuse on the top with a blood red head would be the ticket around here because as a bait chunker, that is the color jigs I used to catch both bass and crappie the best....Chuck

Far as i knkow the Clouser is prolly the most versitle fly on earth.least equally with any other pattern out here. It has caught as many different species in both fresh and salt water as any fly i know of. Definately work on largemouth. I think it was originally designed for smallies actually. Chartruse (sp? to tired to worry bout it, lol) is always HOT color for largemouth. Check the color of the minnows where your fishin' and duplicate it. Make sure you balance the lead eyes to the size of the hook, so it cast right. If you want it to ride upright, put the eyes on the bottom of the hook. If you want it more or less weedless, put 'em on the top....that'll flip it. Dress 'em sparsely .....seems to work better that way. mark ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Chuck Alexander" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Subject: [VFB] Clouser Minnow Question Date: Sun, 14 Jan 2007 00:31:11 -0600 Folks: Do Clouser Minnows make good flies for Largemouth Bass???If so, any particular color scheme???
