nope, but it sounds like it could be a Clouser tied with fox fur? Where did you see/hear of it? ------------------ RRhyne56, Flyfishing Warden rrhyne56@comcast.net Robins Custom Flies and Leaders

Found it: http://www.nesportsman.com/nh/jimsflybox/fly10.shtml This link also includes a good discription of the old Clouser vs. all it's spinoffs. I saw it mentioned as catching some smallmouths back east somewhere.

the old rule of thumb is that a Clouser ought to be tied sparsly enough that one can read a newspaper through it. ------------------ RRhyne56, Flyfishing Warden rrhyne56@comcast.net Robins Custom Flies and Leaders

Several years ago (can't remember exactly) there was a magazine article about Foxy Clousers. Just happen to find a road killed red fox about a week later. Had a beautiful tail so I tied up a bunch of those little Clousers. Never could catch a fish on one but I still have them and the tail.

How about dog fur? I remember when I was a teenager making a popper and using hair that I trimmed from our long-haired german shepherd dog.

I tie two types of Foxee Clousers -- one with Arctic Fox and one with gray fox. The gray fox version is from Joe Cornwell, from whom I've also purchased fiberglass fly rods, a good tie found on his Fly Fish Ohio website. Bob Clouser also ties one in his book Clouser's Flies.
