Hi there,

The colours on the leaves are finally changing and autumn is fully kicking in. There are some very big fish still to be caught on many rivers so do not put the rod away just yet!

The Helmsdale had a reasonable end to the season once some water finally arrived, reports suggest that around 1000 fish were landed throughout the river. lets hope we all have a normal season next year with no interruptions and lots of fish...

One of our most deadly flies is back in stock along with many more to bend the rod before the season ends. Our RS Willie Gunn Grizzle Monkey is an absolute killer fished on sinking tips and full sinking lines so now is your chance to stock up on them again. Ron designed these flies recently and they have fished incredibly well in spring summer and autumn, not many flies can boast this.

Going forwards we will soon be launching some dazzling new and exclusive boxed fly selections so keep an eye out for our emails for perfect Christmas gifts for the angler who has everything, these will really impress!

The Helmsdale fished well last week after a little rise in the water combined with windy conditions. There were over 70 fish off so the season is ending on a decent note with the last few days next week set to fish well too as temps continue to drop.

But, many rivers are still open and we have a great exclusive fly deal for you on one of Rons most deadly salmon tubes, the explosive Rs Alistair TigerTail. This fly was invented by Ron and has become a houshold name killer due to its striking presence in the water. Salmon just hit it as a predator fly when you get it down close to them, especially in the autumn. We are giving you 7 for the price of 6 so don't hang around and grab a set. You cannot get them anywhere else in the 4 sizes we offer. 1 x 1", 2 x 3/4", 2 x 1/2" and 2 x 1/4" a very special deal on unique salmon flies from Helmsdale Co

The Helmsdale struggled with low water again last week with around 30 fish off all told. The Association water which has been the best beat recently has slowed down markedly, a big spate is now required to refresh and get things going again.

On the fly scene we have had one of our best online seasons even with Covid killing off most of the spring fishing. We had a huge spike in activity when anglers were permitted to travel and fish again and have been very busy since. Most of our success is due to the Helmsdale Co brand offering RS design flies which cannot be purchased anywhere else online thanks to Rons insatiable creativity. Below you will see some of his incredible work with just the legendary Willie Gunn fly, the best known atlantic salmon fly in the world. To say he has taken the pattern to another level would be an monumental understatement. Just check out the flies and tubes set below, most of which are RS design flies.

We are calling this stunning selection "50 Shades of Willie Gunn" and you will get a Willie Gunn collection to absolutely die for with no 2 flies the same size. The price is also stunning for such a unique set of flies, 50 flies for £150, we also do this set boxed and/or with tube doubles. Keep this in mind too for Christmas if you want to totally spoil any salmon angler, especially a Willie Gunn lover, you will simply take their breath away!

The water is up after long awaited rain and rivers are reporting some fine sport again. The Helmsdale Association water is producing the goods as always and another young gun has landed her first fish, at only 11yrs old Isla Macdonald winkled out a lovely grilse and dad Adam teamed up to make it a memorable double by landing a fine 9 pounder in Roaries pool. Prospects are good and it looks like there are good numbers of fish around.

Isla proudly displays her first salmon.
