Aodhan McKinley

My name is Aodhan McKinley from Belfast, and I was introduced into angling and fly dressing by my late father from a very young age. I fish for Atlantic Salmon, Trout, and Dollaghan, although my main passion is tying salmon flies and chasing silver mostly around the River Mourne and Foyle system, and smaller rivers in Donegal.

I created my own fly pattern called ‘The Spectrum Shrimp’ during lockdown and it has proven successful and popular.
