Mutant clouser – natural
if I could only carry one colour mutant clouser that would be olive over UV shrimp. That one colour tied in a range of sizes covers a big cross section of fish that I target in Central Queensland.
Blue water
Estuary grub
in the process of Tiewell being sold and reinvented the large rubber tails for #2/0 versions of my estuary fly never came back on the market. What I have come up with as an alternative is using the rear half of the 2.5? Z Man Grub Z. That has created an even better fly.
Clouser – synthetic MKII
This is my favourite version of the clouser for use when targeting fish holding deep and is tied with H2O slinky fibre which makes the fly present as slightly translucent.
Clouser – synthetic
The down side to a bucktail clouser is that it is not a durable fly. This is a very viable and durable synthetic version which visually, in form and in function is hard to pick from a natural bucktail version.
