Lefty Kreh Bob Clouser On Fly Fishing For Bass

The original was tied with bucktail and krystal flash. But today, Clouser Deep Minnows are tied in a large range of color mixes and material mixes. The extensive availability of synthetic hair-like materials today, make the creation of an nearly infinite number of Clouser Deep Minnow variations possible. The originals were tied on a number 2 saltwater hook with either a white bucktail stomach, gold krystal flash and natural brown bucktail wing or white stomach, silver krystal flash and gray dyed bucktail.

The festival the biggest event of its type in the country, drawing fly anglers from as far away as New York and Georgia appeals to anglers of all ages and phases. Organizers have intentionally worked to draw new anglers particularly women and kids into the calm sport and reengage those who may have started fly fishing years ago but gave the sport up for any number of reasons. Festival attendees listen to lectures from different experts and practice hands-on expertise at the two-day, family-friendly event. Some number of wineries from during the Old Dominion supply free wine tastings for those 21 and older. (templeforkrods.wordpress.com)

Rick, who here with us when Lefty came to the shop some years ago.   I  spent lots of time with him and we became friends.   At dinner he, Lefty and I could talk about business, the fly fishing business and business ethics. We talked about why businesses and people should back to our community.   We do that, I do that and maybe we do it more because of our relationship with Rick and Lefty.   I think Rick has visited Townsend three times, maybe four.   I’ve seen him at trade shows.   And when I need good business advice, I call Rick.

When asked where his favourite to go fishing was he named Los Rochas in Costa Rica, 90 miles off the North Coast as it has the best quality bonefish that he’s experienced in his large and varied career. Though recognized for his Lefty’s Deceiver fly pattern his favourite saltwater fish is the bonefish. They’re a challenge and require skill to fish effectively. Lefty likes the fact that they’re a nervous fish that get spooked easily. He uses light tackle and a 7 or 8 weight rod. He’s generally liked sight fishing on the flats from a ship. When he 1st fished for bonefish he could cast for about thirty fish before to get a bite now he gets upset if he doesn’t get one in three casts.

Went to the Lancaster Fly Fishing Show today and the highlight for me we seeing Lefty Kreh and Bob Clouser at the fly casting test pond. It was really cool seeing Lefty an 88 year old man out cast guys half his age by twice the distance and make it look effortless. I so wanted to get help with my annoying back-cast tangles and loop-overs but time ran out. Anyway he declared that he wasn’t going to give any lessons just a casting exhibition but when he saw the hideous cast of the man beside him blow up. He went right into teaching mode, it looked like he could not help himself. Certainly worth the trip if they’ll be there tomorrow. (fishzoo.net)

Tim Flagler ties another saltwater classic, the Clouser Minnow. Authored by Bob Clouser around 1987, this pattern is one of the most-imitated and most-used flies in saltwater, and has inspired freshwater variants for bigger trout and gamefish. The original Clouser Deep Minnow evolved from conventional bucktail streamers and was meant for smallmouth bass on the Susquehanna River. The name Clouser Deep Minnow was coined by Lefty Kreh, who claims to have caught over 87 species of game fish on the pattern. (midcurrent.com)

And Tom Rosenbauer. Clay took us to one of his favorite stretches in Great Smoky Mountain National Park. It was a rainy dreary day, however they are some of my favorite conditions to fish in. The fishing was a little slower than average, however it did not matter as you could sense that everyone was just there to have a good time. afterward in the day we moved to lower Little River and fished around the Metcalf bottoms area and had some great success. I spooked one of the parks legendary monster Brown trout yes, I’ll be back to see him throughout the next big rain with Mr. 7wt and a big ugly . (flyfishtennessee.com)
