13/3/11

The Helmsdale total has risen to 27 fish off. 7 fish were landed last week with al least 5 from beat 6. Alistair Jappy and Kevin Steel had 2 nice fish on Monday morning on Temple Dogs from the Falls and Manse pools on beat 6. Cecilia White had 2 cracking fish of 12 & 15lbs from the Whinnie (bt 1) and Manse (bt 6) on a TD. Kildonan rods had a fish midweek then Johnny Hardy had a super afternoon on beat 6 landing 2 fish on a Green Highlander copper tube, Falls 14lbs & Little rock 10lbs.

The fishing is still tough as you would expect at this time of the year and many experienced anglers blanked last week. Fish are few and far between but if you get lucky you can be rewarded with a stunning fish or two! Remarkably no fish have been caught on the Association water yet. This water can be accessed for £26 per rod at the moment and your chances of a hook up must be fairly good now.

It is the last day (Sunday 13th) for the great fly deals below in last weeks fishing report, Temple Dogs are fishing well right now! get stuck in and order on-line. Don't forget that we also have everything you need to enjoy your salmon fishing to the max, for example:- Mackenzie DTX salmon rod + Carron Jetstream fly line - why suffer with anything else!! Of-course we have many more fishing combo's which can be enjoyed on the river, it's all down to personal taste!
