Captain Nate Stansberry’s Lingcod Clouser Minnow has accounted for some monster fish on the Oregon Coast. In this fly tying video, Nate shows you how to tie his version of Bob Clouser’s popular baitfish pattern. Nate uses materials and techniques to make the fly durable, and design elements to imitate a kelp greenling, the lingcod’s favorite food item.

Nate: With flies that large, you’re gonna need a bigger boat!
Cool clouser pattern with those heavy eyes you’re going to need to wear a hard hat,chuck and duck that’s the ticket.
