Pro Tips for Maximum Effect

1. Fast, Erratic Strips – Albies chase fleeing bait. Use long, quick strips to swivel the pattern in front of feeding fish.

2. Match the Hatch – Adjust for size and color: olive/white works for silversides; choose anchovy imitations when bait changes.

3. Clear Water, Clear Minds – In calm clarity, use the #4 size and long fluorocarbon leaders to prevent spooking the fish.

Albie Silversides imitation flies are essential saltwater patterns—hand-tied, precise, and purpose-built. Whether blitzing breaking fish or blind-casting incoming tides, their realistic profile and quality build make them a fierce contender when albies are blasting baitfish on the surface.
