The spring fishing is certainly going encouragingly well with lovely springers being reported from many rivers. Fortunately for us many are getting caught on our RS flies. Some fine feedback below from successful anglers recently. These are just from the river Spey below, Well done guys and many thanks for letting us know how well the flies are working.

The Helmsdale continues to pick away and roughly 8 have been caught with 5 coming from the rod of Andy Sutherland. A good recent rise in water levels should bring more fish into the system so a pickup in action is highly probable. The latest fish off was a 20 pounder on beat 6.
