FAQs

What retrieve is best for this fly?

A slow to moderate strip retrieve is generally most effective. Vary the retrieve speed and length of strips to find what triggers strikes on a given day.

What species is this fly best for?

This fly excels in attracting strikes from saltwater species that feed on baitfish, such as striped bass, redfish, snook, and similar species.

What leader should I use?

Fluorocarbon leaders and tippets are recommended for their abrasion resistance and low visibility.

How do I care for the fly?

Rinse the fly with fresh water after each use to remove salt and debris. Store the fly dry to prevent rust.

What sizes are available?

The Fulling Mill Saltwater Clouser - Chartreuse/White is available in sizes 2/0 to 6.

Can this fly be used in murky water?

While the chartreuse/white combination is highly visible, extremely murky conditions may reduce its effectiveness. Consider using the fly in conditions with at least some visibility.

What knot should I use to tie this fly to the leader?

Use a reliable knot, like a non-slip loop knot, to allow the fly to move freely.

Troubleshooting

Fly not sinking properly.

Ensure the fly is properly weighted and tied. Check for any damage that may affect its sink rate. Consider using a heavier Clouser in faster currents.

Fly not attracting strikes.

Adjust the retrieve speed. Try varying the strip length and pauses. Experiment with different depths.

Hook rusting.

Rinse the fly with fresh water after each use and ensure it's completely dry before storage. Consider using a hook with a corrosion-resistant coating.
