Here comes the new fishing season!

The view at the vice today (Boxing day) RS Willie Gunn Special in full production with Semperfli fly tying thread, simply the best....both of them.


As we approach the new salmon fishing season I look forward with optimism and trepidation. Will we have the luxury of a full fishing season right from the off or will restrictions plague the format yet again. I get the feeling it will be a slow start as regional lockdowns keep everything in check for obvious reasons, but, within those regions i think we will or at least should have the freedom to get out on the water to enjoy the fresh air in isolation on our favourite pools.

We get the message, we have all had the memo, we know how to stay safe and keep others protected so let’s hope fishing can be booked and the outdoor economy can function in a safe manner acceptable to the powers that be. I for one will be hunting for that elusive springer first chance I get! Look out for a bunch of our best flies coming back in stock and our new spring Alistairs which we can’t tie quickly enough right now, you can see them in the reports below...

Most of our tubes now come with a hook option which takes the guessing out of correct sizing for many anglers, this has been a great success so chose your option of tube double, treble or single when you order and you are set up to go. We also have our super popular Swedish tube fly boxes back in stock ( we call them the perfect tube fly box ) because there are! Solid, waterproof and pocket size with 5 compartments for tubes and hooks. We also have the favoured Brown Maxima nylon which is as good as it gets in the popular spring weights of 20, 18 and 15lbs. We are adding more accessories to the website due to the growth in demand of online shopping lately so have a good look through the site for all the handy bits and pieces you need.  A suggestion for starting your checklist could be Flies. hooks, Maxima, Gaelforce sink tips, lines and rods, this will get you going very nicely.

So, sharpen your hooks and check out your gear, grab what you need and get ready for that very special first cast of the season. Stay safe, stay clever and respect everyone you might meet, at distance. We wish you tight lines and a very safe season.

RS SuperSquid Spring Alistair

Since the launch of our new Spring Alistair we have been swamped with orders for our pocket boxed sets for Christmas - many thanks indeed. There is still lots of time to purchase these little beauties along with all our other great sets of flies.

The Spring Alistair comes individually in 3 different sizes of 1/2, 3/4 & 1" BUT, we now also have a cool twist on this great new pattern. The RS SuperSquid series of flies have been best sellers so we have now included the Spring Alistair in this mega popular series. Check them out below....Alistair lovers will love these! and if you have not yet tried this deadly fly design yet, you should.
