Quality fish and flies

The fishing toned down a little last week on some rivers as conditions settled but on others it was superb. Still in the peak of the season there were some great catches across the country, too many to report but lets just say that our flies are giving a lot of anglers a lot of fun!

The quality of some fish is also exceptional like one of multiple fish caught by Robert Orr below on the Helmsdale Association water, a stunning shape and there was no shortage of feeding in the sea where this little pig was swimming...


The grilse have definately arrived in numbers and this was made very evident by Alan Crook whilst fishing the Fochabers water of the Spey catching numerous fish every day he was on the water last week. The fly? well lets just say it needs to be replaced as there is very little left of it, pic below while it was still in one piece. You should definately try some and you can order them online from us right here - https://www.helmsdalecompany.com/allys-pearly-shrimp.html

Andrew Phillips (below) has also had a great spell on the Spey recently catching some super fish in numbers too and all on a 10ft trout rod, salmon, grilse, seatrout and brownies and on the same trusty fly, one of our Stoats tails. Great to hear of such good fishing and lets hope it continues.

Seatrout Superdeal and salmon wee summer doubles deal is back

The fishing on the whole in the UK has been on the dour side recently, The Helmsdale has been no different but I get the feeling that the season is going to explode into action very soon!

Alistair & William Jappy have picked away on the Association water recently with a mix of fine salmon and a couple of grilse and the beats are also gathering pace. If proper rain hits the area then I think we are in for some serious sport.

To get you topped up and ready we have another 2 incredible fly deals on the go. The first batch of our "wee summer doubles deal" were all sold out so we have set up another very similar for the same popular price of £19.99 but our main deal is on the seatrout flies this month with a mouthwatering 30 junglecock doubles and singles for the crazy price of just £40. You had better be quick on this one as it really is amazing value for money and will momentously top up your summer seatrout flies for night and day fishing. Both our superdeals come bagged or boxed as do most of our other great fly deals.
