The Helmsdale has swung into action at last and we have suddenly jumped from 1 opening day fish to 11 fish off! The brothers Maclean Jim & George fishing Suisgill rods got the ball rolling with two nice fish on week beginning 14th. Jim had the first (11lbs) from Lower Torrish beat 3 and George returned a fine 14 pounder in Salscraggie beat 1 (pics to follow) and Saturday produced a fine sea-liced fish for Brora Golf Pro Brian Anderson from the Swirl on beat 6.

Last week started well with 2 off beat 5 for the Hugo Ross (wick) team fishing Borrobol rods and another fish came from beat 6 on the same day. The Park pool on beat 2 then stole the show providing another 3 fish during the week. One more fish was returned on beat 6 by Suisgil rods ending a fine week.
