I agree. I catch many stripers in the Delaware River on Clousers. The
colors that seem to work best are chartreuse and white, olive and white,
and rainbow trout.


A now-defunct local shop here was run by a Joe Bruce, who loved
striper fishing with a fly rod. He tied up a "Crab Clouser" that was
similar in color to a swimming blue crab. I don't have the recipe
handy, but it's likely online somewhere. He used copper flash that
gave it a nice look in the waters of the Chesapeake (& probably the
Delaware).
