September

Rain coming at last

The fishing has been a little stale recently everywhere but the Met office rain radar is giving some very heavy rain on Monday & Tuesday so hopefully that will get the fishing going again as we head towards the end of the season on many rivers.

Helmsdale Co are on holiday soon from Friday 22nd for 10 days abroad so if you need flies you better order them no later than Tuesday this week so that we can tie and process.

Tight lines

The fishing lately has been a little dull everywhere in general but we as anglers are always looking ahead to the next fresh water and perfect fishing conditions. This week we really have something special to also look forward to in the design of our new RS Autumn optomist salmon fly

The Eternal Optimist fly one of those classic big hitting Tweed flies that everyone has heard of. A superb spring fly and summer in smaller sizes but there has been one thing missing for lovers of this great fly. Well here it is, and the great news is that it is already catching Tweed salmon and highly fancied by experienced Tweed ghillies and anglers who love the look of it and are excited by the prospect, it is creating a real buzz on the riverbank, and in the water?. And, we not only have them tied on copper tubes but a stunning low water version tied on Partridge Patriot red doubles in sizes 8 & 10.

These are exclusive to the Helmsdale Company and are tied by Ron himself so grab some of these exciting new RS flies and get them in the water for autumn if you are an Etermal Optomist fan.
