Ally’s Red Shrimp

This fly is part of our charity fly selection, where we donate 1€ per each fly directly to river conservation work.

A tiger can’t lose its stripes and salmon can’t stop eating shrimp. After bulking up for 1-4 years on the good stuff, it seems that hitting them is encoded in salmon DNA even during their “no-eat” river run. The same goes for other salmonids with a similar life cycle. Ally’s is probably the most famous shrimp pattern out there! Sizes #2-4 tied on a VMC 9909 and size #12 on a Mustad DL71U double hook. Also available: Ally’s Red Shrimp Treble and Ally’s Red Cascade Shrimp.
