Overview

The Umpqua Clouser Minnow in Gold Shiner is a flashy, high-performing baitfish imitation built for versatility and effectiveness across multiple species and water types. As one of the most iconic streamer patterns of all time, the Clouser Minnow has earned its reputation through countless fish caught in both saltwater and freshwater scenarios. The Gold Shiner colorway takes the original design to the next level by adding a bold golden shimmer that mirrors shiner minnows, a common forage species found in lakes, rivers, and estuaries across North America. It's a top-tier choice for species like smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, trout, redfish, snook, and more.

The weighted dumbbell eyes give the fly a jigging motion, making it come alive on the retrieve. Meanwhile, its hook-point-up design reduces hangups and allows you to fish confidently through submerged structure or shallow cover. Flashy yet refined, the Gold Shiner version works exceptionally well in slightly stained or deeper water where light penetration is limited but reflective elements help draw predator attention. Whether you’re stripping this fly on a sink-tip or swinging it through current seams, the Gold Shiner Clouser Minnow is a reliable fish-getter.Read More +
