My homie UA Dave hooked me up with some medium sized popper heads with eyes. Just add a hook decorated accordingly and water. Bass and pike should lose their minds over these.
Which one is your favorite color pattern?
1. Fire Tiger
2. Orange Crush
3. Red Hot
The beer is Pseudo Sue from Toppling Goliath Brewing in Iowa. If you're a craft beer fan, this is one that should be on your list to try. It's delicious.
Other than the tried and true effectiveness of the woolly bugger, the clouser minnow is one of the most versatile and effective fly patterns out there. A true work horse of a fly that is effective in any body of water from a small pond to any of the Oceans.
Seriously, though. Anything will eat it.
Material List for these particular Clouser Minnows
I have 18 more to tie up to fulfill an order. Chartreuse, Red, and Gray, so, 6 of each color. Then they're getting shipped to Florida. Already looking forward to seeing some of those huge Florida bass that these hook up with.
Prep work is a must when tying a bunch of 1 pattern.
Well, you should have. Joe Cermele and Captain Eric Kerber have been making, in my opinion, the best fishing videos on the interwebs. Each episode is a maximum of 10 minutes long, and it's filled to the brim with killer content, quick tips, first rate commentary, hilarity, and some rad tunes. Mix all of that together, and you have a recipe for some high quality fishy entertainment.
Joe also just hosted a pretty sweet fly swap that I wasn't able to get in on, but he hints he's going to be hosting more of them, so, be on the look out!
Do yourself a solid, check out their videos, and website.
That CARF Outdoors deek looks great on your truck, Joe! Hopefully, it brings you some fishy mojo on all of your trips!
If you have a CARF Outdoors sticker, take a picture and send it to me. I'll get it on the sticker sightings page. Looking forward to seeing where they all end up across the country.
