Bob Clouser created this minnow pattern to imitate many of the Atlantic Gulf Coastal baitfish anglers come across in their travels. The fly is basically a cross between a Lefty's Deceiver and a Clouser Minnow.

Hook: Standard Salt Water Straight eye Stainless.
Eyes: Dumbbell eyes lead or other. Tied to top of hook in Clouser Style. Paint eyes red with black pupil for attraction.
Thread: Light Blue.
Flanks: Six to eight white hackles mixed with silver Flashabou or other tinsel, Over wrap with additional shorter Flashabou, and add a short clump of light blue buck tail.
Wing: Two short bunches of light blue buck tail, Clouser style one behind the eye and one in front of the eye and on the bottom of the shank.

Note: I have seen this fly tied with colors other than blue and also with peacock herl at the top of the hook, like the classic Deceiver.
