Fulling Mill Juglaret’s French Gammarus Orange – Heavy Euro Nymph Shrimp Pattern
The Juglaret’s French Gammarus Orange is a highly effective shrimp (gammarus) imitation designed specifically for fishing deep or fast-flowing rivers. Unlike lighter gammarus patterns, this fly is intentionally weighted, allowing it to reach the feeding zone quickly and stay there.
Best suited to modern European-style nymphing and New Zealand-style sight fishing, this pattern excels when trout are holding tight to the riverbed. The orange colour variant is particularly effective over darker substrates or when additional visual attraction is needed to trigger takes in coloured or turbulent water.
With its realistic profile and sink rate, Juglaret’s French Gammarus is a deadly option for targeting wild brown trout feeding on freshwater shrimp throughout Irish rivers.
Key Features
Heavy gammarus (shrimp) imitation
Designed for deep and fast water
Excellent sink rate for tight-line nymphing
Ideal for Euro nymphing and NZ-style sight fishing
Orange colour for added visibility and attraction
Why It Works in Irish Rivers
Freshwater shrimp are a major food source in Irish rivers, particularly in faster runs and deeper glides. This weighted pattern gets down quickly and stays close to the riverbed where trout naturally feed, making it extremely effective when traditional nymphs struggle to reach depth.
Best Fishing Applications
European-style tight-line nymphing
New Zealand-style sight fishing
Fast-flowing and deep river sections
Wild Irish brown trout
Colour Selection Tip
Juglaret’s French Gammarus is available in multiple colours. For best results, always select the version that most closely matches the colour of the riverbed you are fishing.

Fulling Mill McPhail Olive French Partridge – Subsurface Mayfly Pattern
The McPhail Olive French Partridge is a highly effective subsurface Mayfly pattern, designed by renowned fly tier. Created to fish just below the surface during Mayfly hatches, this fly combines movement, silhouette and natural colour to trigger confident takes from trout.
Featuring soft partridge hackle and an olive body, this pattern provides all the key trigger points trout look for when feeding on emerging or struggling Mayflies. It excels when fished on the pull and works superbly as either a top dropper or point fly when targeting wild brown trout and rainbows.
Especially effective on Irish loughs during Mayfly season, the McPhail Olive French Partridge continues to take fish even when surface activity is sporadic or when trout are feeding just under the film.
Key Features
Designed by Davie McPhail
Subsurface Mayfly imitation
Soft partridge hackle for natural movement
Ideal for pulling techniques
Perfect as a top dropper or point fly
Why It Works in Irish Waters
During Irish Mayfly hatches, trout often feed just below the surface on emerging insects rather than fully formed adults. This fly perfectly imitates that vulnerable stage, making it deadly when fished on a floating or intermediate line across loughs and reservoirs.
Best Fishing Applications
Mayfly season on Irish loughs
Wild brown trout and stocked rainbow trout
Subsurface pulling techniques
Top dropper or point fly in a team
