The Clouser Deep Minnow started with a practical problem on the Susquehanna River: how to make a fly fish more like the jigs that were catching smallmouth bass. Bob Clouser joins us to explain why the fly’s eyes were originally about weight and how Lefty Kreh gave the pattern its name.

We get into retrieves, early red fox tail versions, and the difference between a fly that sinks and one that stays near the surface. Bob also shares the stories behind his Suspender and Furry Foam Crayfish, including why watching a fly fall can matter as much as stripping it back.
