Ally's Shrimp

Ally's shrimp is said to be the worlds most popular flies. It was invented by Alistair Gowans better known as Ally Gowans, probably the best inventor of salmon flies in the world. These are now used world-wide. Ally invented not only the Allys shrimp but the Allys Cascade flies, these are incredible catchers of Atlantic Salmon but are also attributed for many Steelhead and Sea Trout through the world. Ally's shrimp is our most popular selling salmon fly with Allys Yellow Shrimp and Allys Red Shrimp close behind.

Allys Shrimp was voted "Salmon Fly of the Millenum" by readers of Trout & Salmon, Trout Fisherman magazines and the Angling Times. Additionally check the credits in "The World's Best Flies" published by The North Atlantic Salmon Fund. For this book contact North Atlantic Salmon Fund at Skipholt 35, IS-105 Reykjavik, Iceland, requesting a copy and send them as a good donation help save the Atlantic Salmon, without them our fun and food would be severely depleted!
