My take on the famous Apache Shrimp , a fly from Northern Ireland that catches all over the world. The Longtail version adds a bit of wriggle.

Great summer and backend pattern for Atlantic Salmon

Tied on Ahrex HR420 doubles, the well known and legendary Ally's Shrimp with a pink twist. Subtle flash throughout to grab attention. A good fly for grilse and backend

One of my own inventions with a red and yellow mix tail and mixed boar bristles tied in long. Mirage body glows in the water and the bristles flick and kick. Soft hackles pulsate and it all melts into an irresistible combination in the water . Good one for all season in different sizes.

My version of the Grim Reaper, a salmon fly that is hugely popular from summer onwards, but particularly late in the season.

Invented on the banks of the River Dee in Scotland by Ross Macdonald.

It’s become a legendary pattern over the years, ideal for peaty waters and backend fishing, although it’s worth a go at any time of the year.

Beadheads are excellent for spate river fishing and really cut through the water with their slim profile

I named this one after my daughter, pot belly pig style with lots of bristling movement and long feelers. The sparkly dubbed body glows in the water , predominantly aimed at September onwards.
