Here's how, but you have to have a lot of patience...

Receive the Old Rod from the Fishing Guru in Viridian City. Make sure you have plenty of Pokeballs in your Inventory, so if you do encounter a Shiny Magikarp, you'll be ready. Also make sure that your Old Rod is registered for easy use.

Go to any area of water and fish. If the Magikarp you encounter is a golden color, congratulations, you found a Shiny! If not, keep Running.

The chances of encountering a Shiny Pokemon is 1 in 8192, so if you're real desperate to get a Shiny Magikarp, you've gotta have patience.

In my main game, FireRed, I have 2 Shinies, a Level 100 Crobat (evolved from a Shiny Golbat), and a Shiny Venomoth, caught in the Safari Zone. It was completely unexpected, but remember, it ALL depends on luck.

Happy Shiny Hunting!
