Bogof deal for 1 week only. (over)

Last week we emailed our huge customer database and sign ups to our fishing report to inform of our annual fly "bogof" deal. Your email may or may not have been received by you for any number of reasons as some bounce back to us and do not get delivered occasionally. To qualify you must put "bogof" in the comments section when ordering and purchase over £30 worth of flies excluding selections and brooches.
Simply put, our bogof means "buy one get one free" and that means lots of free flies! whatever you buy, we add another the same or similar. but don't waste time as this deal can clean us out of many of your favourite patterns.


You can start benefiting from our deal and receiving your free flies right here - http://www.helmsdalecompany.com/


Believe it or not, Christmas is only around 9 weeks away as I write so this is a great time to grab some of our hugely popular flies for prezzies, we also have superb boxed selections and if you would like you can simply contact us an we can make them up with flies of your choice for gifts, tailored for certain rivers etc.

One of the many anglers who always have success on our flies is Guy Hemsley and recently he proved this again on the Brora with some clonking fish during his annual October week ( 9 to his own rod ) on the lower Brora. His party finished with 26 for the week fishing mainly large tubes in Willie Gunn and Red Frances patterns.

Fly tying season and extra long Chinese goat hair.

Its fly-tying season and we have some amazing very long Chinese goat in stock along with many other materials you need to create all sorts of deadly new salmon flies. This Goat hair is the closest material you will see to the fabled tapered monkey hair used in many of our favourite long winged flies. This is as good as it gets for Sunray Shadow, Collie and Monkey patterns - its over a foot long! and you can buy it here right now - http://www.helmsdalecompany.com/long-chinese-goat-hair.html

New RS Golden Willie Gunn Krill

The Helmsdale season has closed for another year and in the last week around 40 fish were accounted for in unsettled conditions. Spring was ok, the rest of the season nothing to write home about. Next season? well salmon have a habit of surprising us and keeping us on our toes so who knows what lies ahead. We do know one thing, unless the fly is in the water we will not know if they are there or not in any numbers so anglers will all be out as usual hoping for that magic rod bending moment.

On a more exciting note, I have added another superb new fly to the Helmsdale collection, RS Golden Willie Gunn Krill, check it out and buy it here - http://www.helmsdalecompany.com/rs-golden-willie-gunn-krill-pro-choice.html
