Seadogg Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 I’m starting to get the itch. They’re only a couple weeks away so I’m stocking up. I’ve been tying a bunch of albie whores lately, but I had a vision for something smaller this afternoon. These flies are for those days where the fish are difficult. Hopefully they catch. Congo hair tail, pearl ez body, pearl lateral flash, then a dubbed collar. The head is albie whore style, finished with hot glue. Definitely tying up a few more. Lets see some more. It’s almost time! slhibbs, Chunks, crunch and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flylikabird Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 They're nice! I think they look like Peanuts but ...hey I could be wrong. Usually when I find them on the 'nuts they're a little bit easier to catch....right? Early September. Maybe I'm wrong in what I'm seeing.....is your fly more geared to resemble rain bait or 'chovies? Either way I'm sure you're putting fish on the wand. Good luck!

Seadogg Posted August 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 The dubbing’s a little fluffy when they’re dry but in the water I think they’ll slim down a bit. Very translucent too. The top one was the first I tied, sort of experimental. The second one was the same, but tan instead of pearl. The bottom one was pretty much intended as a chovy. Tan dubbing and defined lateral line. We’ll have to wait and see how they perform. Tons of peanut bunker in my area right now. I’m anticipating a good run.

JCH Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 When they're on big bait balls and my fly is competing with a million anchovies, I tie on an obnoxious bright pink baitfish and voila. All to say I agree with @theshadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCH Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Every recipe I've seen for Albie whores use hot glue, and I just can't bring myself to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadogg Posted August 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Try it out. It’s actually a pretty challenging technique to nail down. On top of that, they’re the most productive fly I’ve ever used for these fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fish in Long Island Sound primarily and your flies are nearly identical to what the fish chase here. Post pics of when you start slaying them!
