Copper Bodied Red Ally
Copper-bodied salmon shrimp
SalmonMid-depth
A copper-bodied version of the Red Ally — the Ally's Shrimp template with a copper tube or copper rib replacing the standard silver. The warm metallic body gives this variant extra lustre in autumn light and coloured water.
Fish this when
Autumn on the English and Welsh salmon rivers in coloured or dropping water. The copper body catches warm autumn light better than silver.
Why it works
Copper reflects amber and warm light tones that match the peaty autumn rivers. The proven Ally's Shrimp profile ensures the colour is attached to a silhouette that salmon take.
