About this fly
This fly is for False Albacore so the total length should not exceed 3 inches. The Atlantic silverside, also known as spearing in the northeastern United States, is a small fish found in the West Atlantic. It ranges from the Gulf of St. Lawrence in Canada to northeastern Florida in the USA. Larger predatory fish like striped bass, bluefish, and Atlantic mackerel, as well as various water birds, prey on Atlantic silversides. Their silver and white coloration confuses predators, and they use a strength-in-numbers strategy by schooling to reduce individual vulnerability.
