There were around a 6 fish off the Helmsdale up until Friday last week Andy Sutherland and Corrie Cormack picking up 2 for Torrish rods on beat 5 & 6. Most days were better for sunbathing than fishing and the river was quite unsettled early in the week. Andy caught his fish on a big Monkey in the evening in the boils above the Jetty, the monkey fly just keeps catching all over the place so on that note below is a snippet of just how well the fly is working.

I had some nice feedback from experienced travelling salmon angler Bjorn Arne Riise on his 3 Naver salmon last week ( maybe  more on Saturday ) which were also caught on our RS Black & Yellow UV Solar Monkey. grab some here - https://www.helmsdalecompany.com/new-rs-black-yellow-solar-monkey

It’s always great to receive feedback like this, we are getting used to it, well done indeed to Bjorn and many thanks for the news. Pics below…uploading
