The deadly RS Alistair Flamethrower size 14 Patriot gold double in stock for you to enjoy, it is a real summer special. Buy now right here - https://www.helmsdalecompany.com/rs-alistair-flamethrower.html

The fishing is not exactly explosive right now as many rivers are running low so fishing early and late is paying off for anglers who are prepared to get out of bed early and fish into the dusk. Stocks seem quite healthy but there are cases of disease cropping up here and there due to the low and warm water. Rain would be good but the forecast is not indicating this anytime soon unfortunately. The Helmsdale Association water is a good bet right now as are many lower beats on UK rivers while fish creep in and settle in the lower reaches.

To help you along we have another stunning fly on offer which is a real summer heavyweight tweaked by Ron, The RS Cascade Firetail with real Junglecock. The deadly set on offer gives you a set of 7 for the price of 6 in 4 sizes right down to size 14s. Only available from Helmsdale Company so grab them when you can right here as they will sell out quickly.

RS Cascade Firetail set

Boxed in a super little waterproof pocket box from Fulling Mill

The Helmsdale struggled a little last week, low water, sun and high temps are not great ingredients for salmon fishing. The beats only just got into double figures in total for the week, the association water usually does better in low water and the early morning anglers managed to take advantage landing around 8 fish for the one mile beat. Good numbers of seatrout are also being caught, this is prime time...

We have another superb fly deal for you on our summer Alistairs which are without doubt the best Helmsdale summer flies. Ron has put together a super deadly discounted mix for you as you can see from the pic below. Mainly tubes and a couple of our Alistair Flamethrower doubles in 12s & 14s. To sweeten the deal even more, we are giving away a free Rs Cascade Firetail double with every set. This deal will sell out as most of them do so don't hang around if you want this incredible unique set of flies - note they come bagged or with tube doubles and boxed wuth tube doubles as extra options.

The Helmsdale produced around 30 fish last week in low conditions which is probably par for the course at this time of the year. The grilse are filtering in and the run should build over July. Seatrout are also gathering and are being caught on the association water when tide suits. Local experts William & Alistair Jappy are picking off a few salmon in the local hot spots along with Jim Forsythe as catches improve weekly.

The fishing in Scotland is showing great promise with some good catches being reported all over the country, we know this from receiving excellent feedback from anglers using our flies. The recent dry spell with bright conditions has slowed things down a little but some lovely salmon are still being caught. A nice example was William Jappy landing a sparkling 19 pounder on the Helmsdale Association water, this beat favours lower water and should fish well as it approaches peak season for salmon and seatrout fishing.

We have had great success this season offering deadly salmon selections to suit all conditions with our latest being a tactical summer selection in our previous fishing report. We now have another massively popular fly in various options available as a set. The Rs Willie Gunn TD is one of our most popular and successful tubes based on the legendary Willie Gun colours - grab a set, you will not be disappointed!
