The beats produced a rather hard fought 55 fish for the week although a good head of fish is scattered through the system. Reasonably numbers of fish are still arriving and the Association water gave up around 15, 6 of which fell to the charms of Adam Macdonald fishing our Baby tds (4) and 2 on an Alistair on the dropper. The fish are good quality and one of Adams solid fish is displayed below with Baby TD firmly attached. Regular visitor Ian Stoddart also had a couple of grilse one evaning on an Alistair Special tube.

Well done to Evan Orr (13) who had a pristine grilse to keep up with his dad Robert, great to see the young guns getting in on the act.

Baby Temple Dogs just keep catching, and you can buy them here right now - http://www.helmsdalecompany.com/rs-baby-td-aluminium-tube-rons-favourite.html

The river lower Brora is also fishing pretty well especially for regular visitor Jason Chick who has discovered the deadly hooking ability of fishing with a dropper. He had numerous fish on our Helmsdale Shrimp last week pictured below. We have tied them on Loop doubles which have a wide gape to maximise hook ups and these sit great for dibbling in the fast water. They are available in 3 sizes and if I were you I would get one involved in your salmon set up fast! you can buy them here - http://www.helmsdalecompany.com/rs-kola-sparkle-shrimp-loop-double.html

Prospects are still good for next week. Low pressure is never going to be far away so we can expect more rain moving in and the good news is that it will be from the South and therefore much warmer than last week. There is good availability on the Association water so its well worth a chuck! Tickets are available daily at the Helmsdale Co tackle shop from 9am.
