Clouser Minnow #1

The gray and white variation of the Clouser Minnow

Most people know that the Susquehanna River was the birthplace of the Clouser minnow. Bob Clouser´s shop in Middletown is a must stop if you visit the area. Just about any color combination is successful at one time or another. My favorites are olive over white, chartreuse over white, gray over white, and brown over orange.

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
