Dave's Albie Fly

False Albacore can be very selective as to baitfish size and color. Dave's Albie fly is designed to imitate Bay Anchovies or Glass Minnows, which become important forage in the fall, from Massachusetts to Maryland. Merrimack River Flies field testers proved that this is as an effective anchovy imitation. When you can't figure out what the Albies are feeding on, give Dave's Albie Fly a try.

• Merrimack River Flies sells quality, hand-tied flies on Mustad 2X strong saltwater hooks.

• 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.   

'…after an exciting and productive day on the water, I've resolved that Dave's Albie Fly is hands down the best albie fly there is. The bait the Albies feed on this time of year are these little 1 1/2 inch long anchovies that are olive and gold.

I think the sparseness is also a key feature, especially in calm water when the albie can get a good look at the fly. Yet there is enough to it that they can see it in rough rips too…It casts effortlessly. When the boat is pitching and the wind blowing hard, the last thing you want to do is contend with a hard to cast fly.'
