The Hatch Outdoors One Fly Fits All contest is a fun way to use a chartreuse clouser minnow fly. I learned of the contest when it was originally posted on Friday July 10th while I was preparing to get lost in Wisconsin for the week.
Before I left, I checked my fly boxes to make sure that I had some chartreuse closures (because everyone should have a few), but I didn’t! Needless to say I hit the vise before I took off the next morning, and tied up a few fresh clouser minnows. I even tied a size 12 clouser. I thought I was going to have something different, but my secret fly was thwarted by a fellow #icatchsmallfish tour member Ellie Leafgren who tied a size 14!
The contest is simple…share a photo of a fish you caught with a clouser minnow, post it with the hashtag #oneflyfitsall and you’re entered. The contest runs until the end of the month, and there are 3 prize tiers. For full details about the One Fly Fits All contest please visit Hatch Outdoors.
If you don’t have a chartreuse clouser in your fly box, you need to visit your local fly shop or tie a bunch for yourself NOW! To see another one of my favorite fly patterns for bass, check out this old post of my Minimum Cowbell Fly.
Hmm… I’ll have to go through my photos. Not that I’d win, but I do love me a Clouser minnow.
P.S. – Thanks for all the social media love you’ve been giving, particularly on twitter. Much appreciated my friend!
