Another week has gone by on the Helmsdale without a fresh fish being landed. The weather has been unsettled but the river settled to a perfect 1ft 4 on Saturday with hopes high for all beats but still no sign of any springers. 

However, as the days are stretching more anglers are looking out their tackle in search of silver and there is no better way to start the season afresh than upgrading your fly line and flies. We happen to have the best salmon lines out there in stock from Gaelforce. These lines are super slick and a joy to cast and the shooting head and Spey lines come with perfectly integrated floating running line. In the business end there is a welded loop to pop on a range of sinking tips and if you simply want to fish as a full float in summer the taper on the line let’s you do this without adding any tips. A simple but highly tuned world class super smooth durable line that turns over beautifully. We highly recommend them and are giving away 3 of our best spring flies with every line purchased to help you in your quest for tightening into a salmon.
