Clouser Strikes Again - tailgrabber - 10-25-2009 The weather has been up and down here in PA. too warm for walleye too cold for a good smallie bite, so I gave a small creek a shot. Trout were rising, but couldn't get them to commit to any of the dries I was offerring. Not even the BWO Fly Goddess sent me. I thought for sure they were going to be the ringer. So I ended up trimming down a clouser and the bite switched up in an instant. The trout attacked this fly like it owed them money. I would cast it down stream or to the side of fish or the hole they should be in let it sink for 3-5sec. Then strip it back with quick 2-5in strips. Landed a bunch of fish lost a bunch as well. Only got a few pics from the first day, Other pics are trapped in my phone. All fish were released.

Never too old to learn something new. So how much of the clouser did you trim?[/size][/#008000][/font] [signature] Re: [Dryrod] Clouser Strikes Again - tailgrabber - 10-25-2009 The top right is the normal size I use for Bass. The top left is the trimmed down fly that worked great on the trout. The bottom fly I tried to make in a black nose Dace color pattern. It turned a few heads but not as many as the flash, chartruse,and olive one did.
