I am offering guiding services for the week for the first time and Thursday/Friday & Saturday of opening week are still available to book, contact me anytime for details and get your accom and guiding organised. As you know, the Helmsdale river is one the few rivers which offers the angler the chance to hook up with a rare January spring salmon and we landed 4 superb springers during opening week last season. I will be fishing along side and guiding you through the absolute best spring salmon pools on the river and giving you all the instruction and advise you need.

If you want to sample Scottish spring salmon fishing at its best under my watchful eye on some of the finest fly water in the UK please contact ASAP and get your place booked. January fishing is full of anticipation challenge and tradition - come along and sample it all in very relaxed form. Call me on 01431821372 or email enquiries@helmsdalecompany.com
