The Helmsdale produced around 30 fish last week in low conditions which is probably par for the course at this time of the year. The grilse are filtering in and the run should build over July. Seatrout are also gathering and are being caught on the association water when tide suits. Local experts William & Alistair Jappy are picking off a few salmon in the local hot spots along with Jim Forsythe as catches improve weekly.

The peak of the season is almost upon us so sharpen your hooks for the main summer salmon and seatrout run. We have all your seatrouting and salmon requirements right here and the flies you see below are second to none as far as the salmon are concerned - the RS Alistair Special. This fly is one of our very best and it is back in stock - the bad news is that it will sell out very quickly so please grab of these stunning tubes when you have the chance! We have them available in 3 options of Copper, aluminium and plastic so the whole season is covered but for summer there is no better than the 1/2" and 1/4" - totally deadly fished alone or as a tail fly with a dropper. Click on the fly here and read all about them. The alistair fly is a unique design in that it is a bushy semi-hitch tube ( summer versions). Anglers often talk about sparsely dressed flies being best but The Alistair is on another level and boy does it attract summer salmon!

The fishing in Scotland is showing great promise with some good catches being reported all over the country, we know this from receiving excellent feedback from anglers using our flies. The recent dry spell with bright conditions has slowed things down a little but some lovely salmon are still being caught. A nice example was William Jappy landing a sparkling 19 pounder on the Helmsdale Association water, this beat favours lower water and should fish well as it approaches peak season for salmon and seatrout fishing.

We have had great success this season offering deadly salmon selections to suit all conditions with our latest being a tactical summer selection in our previous fishing report. We now have another massively popular fly in various options available as a set. The Rs Willie Gunn TD is one of our most popular and successful tubes based on the legendary Willie Gun colours - grab a set, you will not be disappointed!
