VFT4149
For sale here is a shadowbox frame paying tribute to Jimmie Albright, complete with 17 of his tarpon fly patterns. Albright was considered the Dean of flats fishing guides in and around Islamorada. He also invented the Albright knot and the nail knot. Hal Chittum provided the frame and sold the shadowbox for Jimmie to help him with some medical bills. There are only three of these known to have been made, two of which have never surfaced for sale. Truly a fantastic offering!

Shipping Information
- We ship at cost to the buyer and in the majority of cases do so via UPS with full insurance and signature. There are cheaper options but our experience has been that you get what you pay for and that it's not worth taking risks when shipping what are often one-of-a-kind items. Your shipping estimate will be calculated at checkout and if you have any questions please contact us. Please note the buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties or fees that may levied. Due to the importance of packing items carefully please allow up to two weeks for arrival (depending on how busy we are) though we certainly do our best to get items to you as expeditiously as possible.
