20 pounder for Jean

The weather is not helping fishing right now so scoring is not great anywhere. The Helmsdale managed around 5 with the highlight coming from Jean Bain who grassed a thumping 20 pounder on beat 6 in the Dyke pool.

However, the high pressure and sunshine cannot stick around for too much longer and rain will hopefully grace the skies for anglers, we need fresh water. So, while we dream of better fishing conditions ahead we have another stunning fly selection for you to add to your repertoire. The RS April SuperSet pictured below comes in many discounted options starting with a half set for £19.99 right up to a boxed full set with tube doubbles. This is a set to die for and only available from Helmsdale Co. You can grab one right here - https://www.helmsdalecompany.com/rs-april-superset-deal

Double for Andrew on beat 6 and RS Willie Gunn krill deal

The Helmsdale got off to a very promising start last week especially for Andrew Thomas when he landed 2 lovely fish on beat 6, one of them a thumping 19 pounder from the Fall pool. He also had a 10lbs fish and there was a fish off beat 1 same day but that’s where the action ended for the whole week. The river was on the low side and very fishy but for some reason no more fish turned up and 3 was the total for the week. So, it’s time to offer you another superb deal on stunning flies as the season powers on. This deal and range of flies are an absolute must for Willie Gunn lovers  

The new RS Golden Willie Gunn Krill is waiting for you right here and it is one of Ron’s most explosive  new designs. A lot of thought went into developing this beauty and it has all the deadly features required to stimulate unsuspecting salmon who have fed on Krill at sea.  

This deal nets you 2 free Krill in the selection of 8, so you are getting 8 flies for the price of 6, a fantastic offer on unique cutting edge flies that you can only buy from the Helmsdale Company, all tied on copper tubes.

Grab the deal and your 2 free flies right here - https://www.helmsdalecompany.com/index.php

Another first fish for Andy

The Helmsdale finally got off the mark last week and yes, it was that man again, Andy (Torrish) Sutherland who grassed the first fish off the river from Beat 4 Dalhallamy pool. The legendary Willie Gunn fly produced the goods and the fish was a classic 10 pounds of pure silver adeptly netted by his daughter Yvonne. 2 other springers were caught on the day by Stuart Foxall beat 6 and Jim Forsyth grassing the first off the Association water. Andy did it again on beat six Saturday with another 10lbs bar of silver from Big Rock pool.

Springers are being caught on most rivers now and another fine example was a cracking 25 pounder for from Roan pool on the Findhorn on our 1” Dee Monkey conehead. It’s time to get the rods out in earnest now and we have all the flies, lines and sinking tips you need for a successful day on the water.
