The Helmsdale struggled with low water again last week with around 30 fish off all told. The Association water which has been the best beat recently has slowed down markedly, a big spate is now required to refresh and get things going again.

On the fly scene we have had one of our best online seasons even with Covid killing off most of the spring fishing. We had a huge spike in activity when anglers were permitted to travel and fish again and have been very busy since. Most of our success is due to the Helmsdale Co brand offering RS design flies which cannot be purchased anywhere else online thanks to Rons insatiable creativity. Below you will see some of his incredible work with just the legendary Willie Gunn fly, the best known atlantic salmon fly in the world. To say he has taken the pattern to another level would be an monumental understatement. Just check out the flies and tubes set below, most of which...

The water is up after long awaited rain and rivers are reporting some fine sport again. The Helmsdale Association water is producing the goods as always and another young gun has landed her first fish, at only 11yrs old Isla Macdonald winkled out a lovely grilse and dad Adam teamed up to make it a memorable double by landing a fine 9 pounder in Roaries pool. Prospects are good and it looks like there are good numbers of fish around.

Isla proudly displays her first salmon.

The deadly RS Alistair Flamethrower size 14 Patriot gold double in stock for you to enjoy, it is a real summer special. Buy now right here - https://www.helmsdalecompany.com/rs-alistair-flamethrower.html

The fishing is not exactly explosive right now as many rivers are running low so fishing early and late is paying off for anglers who are prepared to get out of bed early and fish into the dusk. Stocks seem quite healthy but there are cases of disease cropping up here and there due to the low and warm water. Rain would be good but the forecast is not indicating this anytime soon unfortunately. The Helmsdale Association water is a good bet right now as are many lower beats on UK rivers while fish creep in and settle in the lower reaches.

To help you along we have another stunning fly on offer which is a real summer heavyweight tweaked by Ron, The RS Cascade Firetail with real Junglecock. The deadly set on offer gives you a set of 7 for the price of 6 in 4 sizes right down to size 14s. Only available from Helmsdale Company so grab them when you can right here as they will sell out quickly.

The Helmsdale struggled a little last week, low water, sun and high temps are not great ingredients for salmon fishing. The beats only just got into double figures in total for the week, the association water usually does better in low water and the early morning anglers managed to take advantage landing around 8 fish for the one mile beat. Good numbers of seatrout are also being caught, this is prime time...
