It has been very dour on the Helmsdale lately and last week there were no fish off in great conditions for Monday & Tuesday. Action finally started on Wednesday in the face of adversity when Andrew Thomas landed the first of the week from the Pipe pool beat 2 on a rising river. Thursday served a high river but when things settled a little on Friday there were fish there.

Six fish were caught on Friday & Saturday on beats 3, 2 & 6 with the highlight being a super 14 pounder out of the little Rock pool beat 6 for Gavin Perry.  Andy Sutherland just had to make the report again with fish off the tail of the bay and Kilphedir to end a much better week with 7 landed.
