Why Fish the Clouser Minnow?

The Clouser Minnow is one of the most recognized and effective baitfish patterns in saltwater fly fishing. Its weighted design helps it ride hook-point up and get down in the water column, while the flowing materials create a convincing baitfish profile.

How to Fish It

Use short, sharp strips followed by pauses to make the fly dart and settle like an injured baitfish. Vary the retrieve based on the depth, current, and activity of the fish. It can be fished around flats, channels, structure, and bait schools.

Capt. Ken’s Guide Tips

• Watch the bait: When possible, choose your retrieve and presentation to imitate the size and movement of the local baitfish.

• Vary your strips: Start with short, quick strips. If fish follow without striking, try changing the speed or adding longer pauses.

• Fish different depths: Allow the fly to sink before retrieving when fish are holding deeper in the water column.

• Don't overlook the color: Tan and white is a useful natural-looking combination when you want a baitfish profile without overly bright colors.
