We have our excellent tube fly vices back in stock this week which you can buy clicking on the link below...no more spinning tubes in the vice! and this particular vice will accomodate all copper, aluminium, brass and bottle tubes. A "must have" for anyone tying tube flies.

On the fishing front, the past week was far from spectacular. 13 salmon were accounted for throughout the lower Helmsdale with the best being a 17 pounder for Kildonan rods. The Association water finally got off the mark when local Robert Mackay landed the first fish. Huge tides last week were predicted to push in a few more springers and an afternoon session on the Wednesday ebb tide provided a super 16 pounder from the Flat pool for Robert. A traditional gold bodied Willie Gunn waddington was the killer fly. Another fresh fish was lost on the same day by a visiting angler.
