The Helmsdale season closed with another excellent spell of fishing, the highlight being more fish off the loch for Badanloch rods. Badanloch have caught 11 salmon on the loch recently - just goes to show if you fish there you can have good success and they are the only rods to score on the loch this season! The grand total for the river should have no trouble reaching the 2,700 mark with the inclusion of around 130 from the Association water. I had my traditional late last cast on the 30th in the Flat pool for no joy but I was amused when a family of 4 otters muddled right up the middle of the pool past me as if to say " ok, we are taking over here now - its time for you to go". A lovely end to a great season.
