Another good week

The Helmsdale has had another good week with rods scoring well all over the river. Temperatures were down and the weather on the whole definately helped the fishing conditions along. With just 2 weeks to go on the season for most rivers we have launched another stunning tubefly, the RS Autumn Cascade Hothead which is the natural follow on from our spring and summer model which is so popular. Check them both out below and buy a few if you have fishing lined up, they are both deadly!

Great day for Andy Sutherland on the Helmsdale

The Helmsdale Association water exploded into action last week on the back of a cracking spate. Unsettled conditions earlier in the week dealt some dirty water which finally culminated in a dropping and clearing river on Thursday. Andy Sutherland took advantage in a big way hooking 9 salmon and landing 7 for his incredible day. The next morning he landed another 2 quickly before heading out to sea to catch some lobster. There are lots of fish around this season but they don’t give themselves up easily so the correct fly had to be deployed and his Classic Alistair proved it’s worth once again with devastating effect. There were more fish caught but the highlight and catch of the season belonged to Andy.

The upper river performed great also as one can well imagine and all beats are looking to finish with 3 good weeks.

Most rivers have around 3 weeks left so there is still great sport to be had, you know the “on form” fly and you can buy it below in 4 great sizes.
