Shannon's Terror
Related content
Coastal flyfishing for sea run brown trout along the coasts in Scandinavia is a big thing, and the fishing is apparently also quite good along the coastal areas in both United Kingdom, Ireland and Scotland. A pattern that has gained quite a reputation is the Shannon’s Terror - a baitfish imitation invented by Scottish flyfisher and flytyer Billy Scott. Named after his daughter and kept a “secret” for a period due to its effectivity, but slowly the pattern got “leaked” and spread out to fishermen around the world, and now is a well known and effective pattern for imitating sandeels and other baitfish. We have visited and fished with Billy Scott and during the stay we did this video of him demonstrating his effective pattern.

Long story short
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
