Bonito Hunt

Micro Bait Crease Fly

Bay Anchovy Crease Fly

Worked well on bonito last Monday. Lots of bay anchovies and blitzing bonito schools...

Bonito Jigminnow Revisited

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

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.😂

Before and After the Storm

Retrospective 2012-2014!

Snowy day fly tying...

Trying some on smaller hooks...This one is on 1/0 long shank stainless iron.

Happy Holidays!

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.

Brand New Build: Saltwater 8wt Graphite Fly Rod

Fresh off the bench...This is a really cool 8wt (more pics here). Can't wait to use it this spring. It will be an excellent stick for bonito and smaller albies, too!

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.
