Irish Finn Gold Shrimp Fly

About the Irish Finn Gold Shrimp Salmon Atlantic Fly

Purpose-built for the fabled River Finn in County Donegal, the Irish Finn Gold Shrimp is a shining example of traditional Irish salmon fly craftsmanship. With its vibrant golden body, fiery hackles and flowing tail fibres, this pattern is a visual trigger for aggressive salmon, particularly in peaty or slightly stained waters where visibility is key.

Inspired by the dynamic shrimp-style patterns favoured in Ireland, this fly mimics the pulsating movement and silhouette of small crustaceans, provoking instinctive takes from fresh-run Atlantic salmon. Its use of gold and orange tones is especially effective in summer and early autumn runs.

Whether you’re casting into the deep holding pools of the River Finn or trying your luck on similarly coloured rivers across the British Isles, the Irish Finn Gold Shrimp is a fly that commands attention—and results.
