Another two consistent weeks have passed on the Helmsdale with the highlight being a superb 31 pounder released on the Borrobol rods. Johnny Hardy was the ghillie in charge when the fish was hooked in the Dyke pool on beat 6, after a long struggle the biggest fish of the season ( which had only recently entered the river ) was landed in the Groyne pool below. On the Association water, visitor John Asworth and William Jappy had fish from the Flat pool. Good water is still holding up after a 5ft spate midweek which washed out most beats for a day. Tickets are still available on the Association water and with only 10 days of the season remaining it is well worth a last gasp cast for salmon.
