Andy Sutherland saved the blank for the week on the Helmsdale with a sparkling springer from Lower Caen on beat 1 at 8lbs. The river was high so the South bank was chosen to fish one of his favourite pools through the beautiful inside track away from the main flow of the North bank. A monkey conehead was chosen and it was not long before his decision was rewarded.

A disappointing week for the river but the form was on par with most other rivers where fish were also few and far between. With high pressure set to dominate the forecast for the next week, the river should settle nicely and hopefully some more fish arrive. Watch this space!

We are very busy with flies and accessories right now and our Gaelforce salmon lines are proving to be a best seller. You will not find a more slick salmon line. The integrated Spey and shooting head lines are a dream to cast even with a sinking tip and conehead or weighted tube attached. This is the perfect setup for most of the spring and we have it all right here for you. We all love salmon fishing, make it a better experience and fish with the best line out there.
