Unsettled conditions with high water most of last week caused a few problems for anglers far and wide but fish were still caught. Our flies continue to produce the goods with notable results for Jonny Gray with 2 beauties off the Findhorn Altyre beat early in the week both on our UV Cascade Alistair Conehead JC. Carron ghillie Finlay Maculloch also had an explosive double before breakfast landing 2 fiery fresh runners on one of our TD style Tadpole specials we tie for him, a deadly local fly in that area. And over on the Spey, Andrew Phillips got off the mark with a lovely fish in the Boat Pool Aberlour water, our Spring RS Stealth Cascade conehead was the fly.

Well done lads, we are delighted with the feedback and thank you for giving our flies a swim, keep up the good work.

The Helmsdale scored in the high teens and that man Andy Torrish was amongst the action once again with a lovely fish from beat 6 on a Black & Yellow Monkey Conehead. Pics all below.

With all the action happening this spring we are busier than ever so please order your flies well in advance to make sure you get them on time, thank you.

One of Finlays 2 early morning fish from the Carron, Tadpole tube firmly inhaled.

His Special TD style Tadpole that we developed from the classic pattern using mobile fox in the hairwing, we think a UV version would be stunning...call to order or email. We will be putting a UV version online soon.
