We have gone through a fairly quiet period on the Helmsdale for salmon which can be the norm for the time of year. However, sea-trout have arrived in numbers and sport has been good at night due to low water levels.

The Association water has provided around 6 salmon over the last 3 weeks taken mostly by avid local angler William Jappy and Ghillie Martin Grant had a tiny grilse of 1lb fishing for sea-trout. Sea-trout catches have been excellent locally and I have had 25 of the approx 65-70 caught recently on a deadly new fly that you will see and read about in the next issie of the Trout & Salmon magazine....don't miss it!

Heavy rain is forecast and the river in general could do with a freshen up to kick start the salmon fishing again.
