Description
CW Albie – Saltwater Baitfish Fly
The CW Albie is a clean, high-performance baitfish pattern built for fast-moving saltwater predators.
Originally designed by CW Flies, this fly features a slim profile, flowing feather tail, and epoxy head that creates a realistic baitfish presentation in the water. It tracks clean, casts easily, and holds its shape even after repeated eats.
Designed for speed and visibility, the CW Albie excels when fish are keyed in on bait and moving aggressively.
Why It Works
