- In this episode, we're going to take a classic streamer pattern, the Clouser deep minnow, and downsize it for panfish and bass. I'll talk about variations in tying materials that make the micro version easier to tie and more lively in the water (if you'd like to see me do a tying tutorial, let me know in the comments). we'll also talk about the role the microclouser can play in filling that gap in your box between bugs and baitfish when fishing for big gills and crappie that have made the switch from bugs to crustaceans and small baitfish. Then we'll get out on the housing development pond and catch some fish.

Tight Lines!
I could listen to that cast strip rythm all day smooth Operator
Tim, Howdy; Enjoyin' the Bluegill action. Nothin' beats catchin'em . Excellent way to get your casting
arm back in shape after a lay off of a few years. First fish I ever caught was a 'gill. Tons of fun memories.
Another fun video Tim. You seem to be able to make things happen no matter the conditions. Particularly like the micro-Clouser pattern you are using. Nothing like bluegill on a fly rod! Thanks for the unedited live entertainment....
Great Video, these look amazing
I'd love to see a tying video on the micro clouser. Thanks.
I think that might be able to be arranged.
Check the channel, Bob, I finally got it done.
Tim, I’m a new fly tier. I’d love to hear about hook size, thread etc. also eye sizes. Love your video so I am signed up. Thanks!!!
There are several thing videos on the channel, including one I just uploaded a few days ago on tying the microclouser. Hope they help, and thanks for watching!
That reminds me of going out to Joe Bill's pond. Fun times!
Fun times indeed. That is still one of the best ponds I've ever fished.
@@timonthefly3167 We may have to sneak out there sometime.
@@nateklein9897 I'm in!
Rewatchin so I know how to run it good lol
Have you used these on brook trout yet? They it just like a blue gills will
Haven't caught brookies on them yet, but I know brown trout like them. Haven't really had any species turn them down yet.
What type of line? I assume floating line. What weight line and what weight fly rod? What type leader and what weight tippet?
4wt rod and weight forward floating line, 9ft leader tapered to a 3x tippet.
@@timonthefly3167 Thanks Tim for getting back tp me so soon! What 4 weight fly line do you use? (Last question, I promise).
I believe that was a Cabela's (now White River) Prestige Plus. I also use a lot of Scientific Anglers Mastery Series MPX lines, but I'm pretty sure that was the Cabela's PP and that is what I'm currently using on that reel. The reel is an older Lamson.
@@timonthefly3167 Thanks Tim. I enjoy your You Tube videos.
Just the right size for eating. You don't want to keep and bluegills that have spawn in them. Great video.
Definitely true. Thanks for watching!
What size hook do you use?
Typically 10-12, but I've gone as small as 16. I think the one in this video is a 10.
