The Helmsdale is starting to come alive. The total is up to a heady 20 now roughly. Andy Sutherland scored again on Lower Caen and Kilphedir and fish are coming off everywhere below the falls and running daily now. Helmsdale Co flies are working great not just on the Helmsdale but all over Scotland and you can see our best sellers below. They are flying out the door and anglers are filling their boots with our 3 + 1 deal.

All the flies and many more are available here - http://www.helmsdalecompany.com/

Cracking fish are being caught everywhere now. Tony Black bagged a glorious 30 pounder on Murthly 2 Tay and fish up to 25 pounds are being caught on the Spey. The North rivers are kicking in also, Pat Nichol had a super 20 pounder on the Thurso, and Alistair Jappy took the first 2 fish off the Forss, the fly? An Alistair TigerTail of course as pictured above. The Ness is also waking up, Gordon Armstrong has had 2 off his Ness Castle beat in the last week, A Black/yellow Monkey tube doing the damage.
