Explosive week on the Helmsdale

Well the rain came and so did the salmon, and boy did they come! reports suggest that the river has had the best summer run in years with mainly grilse and a sprinkling of summer salmon piling into the river. The Association water had a great week with numbers caught guestimated at around 40 - 50 fish off and many more lost, a bit like the old days....great news indeed and long may it continue.

I have heard that many other rivers experienced similar news with peak rates of fish being caught. The season is far from over and there are many more fish still to be caught so we have another very special "buy 1 get 1 free" deal on one of the most legendary salmon flies of them all to get you through the summer with maximum catching power - the Silver Stoats Tail. As rivers heights fall and clear there is no better fly than these so grab some when you get the chance and get your free flies. For every Silver Stoats tail you buy, we will give you one for free, its that simple!

Click on the link and buy them right here right now in the deadly sizes of 10's 12's & 14's and make sure you get some in your flybox before we sell out...https://www.helmsdalecompany.com/rs-silver-stoats-tail-mustad-double

Grilse run still on ( bogof on 2 more great flies )

I had the luxury of 5 days on the Helmsdale Association water last week and fishing intermittently for around 5 hours per day I managed to land 5 grilse which were in pristine condition. Mornings produced all the action on a dropper setup with 4 hitting the baby TD on tail fly and one on Naked Cascade 12 on dropper. I had lots of offers to both flies and shook off at least another 5 so the sport was good if sporadic, you need to work for them. I heard of around 14 fish off up to Friday but the river desperately needs fresh water. Keep your eye on conditions as the next rise in the river will produce some great sport.

As the season is flying in we have another awesome “Bogof” offer for you on a couple of our most productive UK summer flies, RS Naked Kinermony Patriot double and RS Cascade Firetail gold double. (Buy one and get one free) on both of these but don’t forget to have a look at all our other great patterns including our discounted selections, hitches, Sunrays, Frances tubes and super popular RS Willie Gunn Baby TDs along with our deadly wee silver stoats tail doubles down to size 14s

The summer run has arrived

The Helmsdale has woken up a little as catches on the Association water have shown. The river is still low which suits this beat best and an encouraging number of fine grilse have been caught recently, it is hoped that the run will build over the next few weeks.

On that basis we are offering a July Bogof ( buy one get one free ) on one of the most successful Helmsdale flies these days, The Alistair, but, these gorgeous smart creations have a difference. "Classic Helmsdale style" fishing sports a "dropper" and tail fly setup for "dibbling" in the faster water which is hugely effective on all small to medium sized rivers in the uk, These "Naked" Alistair Patriot doubles are perfect for each point on your cast but have no body materials to worry about getting savaged by the razor sharp teeth of fresh salmon. You definately need some in your box this summer, they come very highly recommended...check them out below and grab some whilst our stocks last, you won't be disappointed!
