BOB LINDSEY -- BEAD CHAIN CLOUSER MINNOW
Tuesday, December 22, 2020
The famous DRiFT Board member Bob Lindsey will be tying the famous Clouser Minnow. Of course, Bob will be putting a twist on it for all of us. This will be a lighter, bead chain version of the original pattern. Bob loves this pattern for bass and large panfish...or as a streamer for trout. Yes, this is a timeless bait pattern that works. Just a side note: Orivs calls this pattern a Freshwater Clouser, while others deem it a Skinny Water Clouser. It catches fish no matter what you call it.
BEAD CHAIN CLOUSER MATERIALS:
Hook: Any 3 XL streamer hook (I am using a size 10)
Thread: White 6/0
Eyes: Bead chain (silver or any color you would like)
Belly: White bucktail.
Flash: Gold Krystal Flash (or any color that likes good with the color of your back)
Back: Any color you like bucktail.
Head: Tying thread.
Head coating: Cement or epoxy
AN EVENING WITH Pat Ehlers
Tuesday, January 5, 2020 - 7:00 PM
Pat Ehlers is making an encore presentation at DRiFT -- as our first-ever virtual guest presenter!
Our evening with Pat will be a discussion rather than a traditional presentation. So get ready to pick the brain of one of the most knowledgable guys in the fly fishing industry.
What do you want to ask Pat? How about?
Trout, bass, pike, muskies, peacock bass, golden dorado, other jungle species, all saltwater species including billfish.
Maybe you're interested in fly rod and fly line design. Pat will have you covered.
Fly Tying? Fly casting? Travel? Boats for fly fishing? Let's talk!
Questions on guiding from a guides point of view? Check!
(Investing in the stock market? Well, do so at your own risk.)
As you can see this will be a wide ranging conversation. What a great way to kick off 2021 -- and hopefully put the end of this pandemic in our crosshairs.
