New RS Solar Monkeys

Another week has gone by on the Helmsdale without a fresh fish being landed. The weather has been unsettled but the river settled to a perfect 1ft 4 on Saturday with hopes high for all beats but still no sign of any springers. 

However, as the days are stretching more anglers are looking out their tackle in search of silver and there is no better way to start the season afresh than upgrading your fly line and flies. We happen to have the best salmon lines out there in stock from Gaelforce. These lines are super slick and a joy to cast and the shooting head and Spey lines come with perfectly integrated floating running line. In the business end there is a welded loop to pop on a range of sinking tips and if you simply want to fish as a full float in summer the taper on the line let’s you do this without adding any tips. A simple but highly tuned world class super smooth durable line that turns over beautifully. We highly recommend them and are giving away 3 of our best spring flies with every line purchased to help you in your quest for tightening into a salmon.

Still quiet....

Some lovely springers are now being caught on a few rivers, Dee, Tweed, Tay, Oich, Carron, Brora and a few others have all scored so its time to get the rod out and get on that outrageously good Gaelforce flyline, we very highly recommend them and you will be hugely impressed with their performance. I fish them all the time and they are an absolute joy to behold for distance, slickness and perfect turnover with or without the range of perfect sinking polyleaders that you can use with them in spring. Every Gaelforce line from us comes with 3 of our best spring tubes to get you going and don't forget to grab some of the sinking polytips to get those spring flies down just a little.

The Spey and shooting heads come with a fully integrated running line so no nasty loops to bump through the eyes of your rod!

Check out our range from Gaelforce right here, you will never buy a better line! - https://www.helmsdalecompany.com/salmon-lines/backing.html

And you know all about our flies which are on a 3 + 1 deal too so get yourself organised for a superb casting experience this season with one of our deadly flies and you have a great chance of hooking that priceless spring salmon wherever you fish.

Tight lines.
