For you fly tying guys, here's Bob Clouser showing how to tie his Clouser Minnow.
It can be tied on any sized hook, with any color combo, and using most any type material. It's an ubiquitous fly that catches almost anything that swims.
It's a great fly to start with, and it's easy to tie. I just match the colors to my FHM and CNBG, depending on what I'm after.
