Yellow salmon shrimp pattern
SalmonMid-depth
Yellow-dressed variant of the Ally's Shrimp family—warm, visible, effective in low, clear summer water when fish are in a taking mood but need inducement. One of the most seductive presentations in salmon fly fishing.
Fish this when
Low summer water on Scottish and Irish rivers when fish lie in clear pools. Fish slowly on a long leader.
Why it works
Yellow is one of the most visible colours in clear, sunlit water. The Ally's Shrimp format is proven on every Atlantic salmon river.
