Siliclone/UV Clone Flies

Old Fly New Eyes

This Striper Streaker has already caught multiple fish...but it needed its eyes replaced. Now it is ready for action again!

Bonito Jigminnow Revisited

Tying some minnows in natural colors...lots of silversides around. Old favorite right here, size 1/0!

Home Fishing

Finally getting good! Good current, swinging flies... Observed multiple pods of sea herring around.

Dragon Tail Baitfish

Not my favorite fly, but so easy to tie...and it is ugly! Dragon tail baitfish, size 2/0, just another boring Albie Snax impersonation.😂

Minty White for Albies

Minty white albie whores, tied with soft mint bucktail, white hackles and chenille, mint thread, and pale green-pearl Sparkleflash.

Crease Fly for Christmas 2

Jointed crease fly, size 3/0.

Crease Fly for Christmas

Small rainbow crease fly, size 2... It was a perfect size for bonito this year.

Coq de Leon Albie Whore (revisited)

These feathers have translucence and fine speckling, and imitate smaller translucent bait quite well. Here is the chartreuse version (compare to pearly white, here).

Rainbow Albie Whore

Size 1, heavy stainless iron.   

Pink Albie Whore

Size 1/0, heavy wire hook.

Olive Peanut Albie Whore

Olive version, size 1.

Blue Peanut Albie Whore

Blue Peanut Albie Whore, size 1. Heavy wire new stainless iron...love this hook!

Tinker Mack Albie Whore

Tied on the size 2 hook, thin profile.

Bonito/Albie Whore

Translucent vs. opaque. Albie whore versions in rusty/burnt orange, barred ginger, tropical punch, lavender, tan, and red tones, size 2. Different type of feathers for different effect.

Albies in 2024

It is Fall of 2024, and albacore aren't available from shore...yet! It is an extremely good bonito year, though, so I am tying some candies. The current NE blow will rearrange the arena, so we will see what happens after the next week.
