How to make a clouser.

[jack01986]

Clouser's are very simple fly's to tie. Tied on a size one hook. Good colours are all white, chartreuse and white, blue and white and even pink and white had loads of pollack on the pink and white one. Also you can tie them on smaller hooks its easier to show people on a bigger hook but it will still work on a size one.

Hook: Partridge Size 1.
Thread: Mono.
Eyes: Bead Chain eyes.
Tail: White and Chartreuse bucktail.

1. First tie in the bead chain eyes a bit behind the eye of the hook make sure it is tied down qutie hard and cant really move, you can use a bit of superglue here as well to secure it if you want.

2. Now take your bucktail and tie it in above the eye's you done want it to be to thick as the fly should be fairly sparse. Tie it in quite tight at the top of the hook and do some normal turns down the shank with spaces between them.

3. Finally take some more bucktail in the same proportions in the same or a different colour as the previous amount and tie it in below the eye's if you have a rotating vice you can flip it over to do this no problem if you dont. whip the thread back towards the eye of the hook and tie off.

Its pretty simple to tie but I think I might have made it sound a bit complicated. Any questions just ask. Also you can put some flash in between the step 2 and 3 if you want to.
