Pingeyingur Fly

About the Pingeyingur Salmon Atlantic Fly

The Pingeyingur (written Þingeyingur in Icelandic) is a celebrated Icelandic streamer pattern created by Geir Birgir Guðmundsson. It has a long-standing reputation as a genuine fish catcher in Iceland, taking both salmon and trout. It's widely regarded as a fly worth keeping in the box for when you want a simple pattern that just fishes.

Fishing Tips:

What the pattern is meant to imitate
At its heart, Þingeyingur is a shrimp/streamer style attractor. A slim green body with a bright yellow wing and a dark beard/throat that gives contrast and movement. That combination produces a strong silhouette in the current and a lively, pulsing swim; especially effective when fished on the swing or with short, controlled draws.
