There were a handfull of salmon off the Helmsdale last week. Early and late was the key but things should change this week with the weather breaking up a little and rain forecast. Even wind with overcast skies will help. The good news is that the water temps have been cooling at night so the danger to fish is not nearly as severe as it could have been.

Ok, now to the exciting stuff. Our Rs UV range of micro tubes have been a huge success, they look stunning, they are catching and they have inspired another hugely exciting fly for summer, The RS UV SuperStoat Loop double. yes. tied on the class razor sharp up eye Loop double with the same ingredients as our UV micro tubes. Check them out below where there is a choice of FL red head or black head and only available in size 14s at the moment keeping on the micro theme, we may be forced to tie on Patriot doubles if we get lots of requests for bigger sizes. Just contact us.
