Fishing Fact
Most fly fishing enthusiasts know that the Clouser Deep Minnow, widely viewed as one of the top flies for both fresh and saltwater gamefish, was invented by Pensilvania guide Bob Clouser. But did you know that it was originally intended for smallmouth bass on the Susquehanna River? The first Clouser Deep Minnows were tied using bucktail and krystal flash. Current versions, however, are available in a variety of colors thanks to the widespread availability of synthetic hair-like materials.
