Dam that looks great I’ll take Two, where do I send the money?I went in my tying room and i use doubled 20lb fireline. And when said and done it ends up being 4 strands and to the hook. The hook tracks with the shank and doesn’t droop down when cast or trolled. I like the material better than wire as with coho they can mess the wire up. Here are some pics that I posted on the old site if this helps answer some other questions.View attachment 26301View attachment 26302View attachment 26303View attachment 26304View attachment 26301View attachment 26302View attachment 26303View attachment 26304View attachment 26305View attachment 26306View attachment 26307View attachment 26308View attachment 26309View attachment 26311
Okay @Nick Clayton said the August addition of Northwest sportsman mag had a article on fly fishing for albacore. Can anyone tell me where I can buy it?
Holy crap! Knew I shoulda went on a diet that summer.
Is that from the July or August mag?Holy crap! Knew I shoulda went on a diet that summer.
Awesome to finally see albacore getting the attention they deserve as a fly fishery.
Congratulations Nick! Getting to this point has taken a ton of hard work, perseverance, and sheer fishiness. All things you have in spades.
Thanks for the SBS, I followed your technique and it came out pretty nice, super fishy profile.I went in my tying room and i use doubled 20lb fireline.

Remember our conversations sitting at my dining room table about how over looked this fishery was from the fly rod perspective?
Pretty incredible how far things have come! When traditionally gear focused mags are writing about it, you know we've gone in the right direction.
You've had as big a part in the success and interest in this as anyone! So has everyone else who has come out and helped to get this stuff figured out.
Pretty dang cool how we've totally changed the narrative on this fishery.
So what was the count for the day?
I have Friday off, if you need a boat buddy... lolI'm eying Friday... Looks to be a possible window for my little dinghy to get out there.
