The Helmsdale is simmering right now. there are a few diseased fish around and some drilse entering the river but the fishing is generally not great, many would say "par for the course" in early June. Ghillie Alex Fraser guided his Badanloch team to top rods last week with a hard fought 6 fish for the week. Thankfully the weather has changed and high pressure has moved away giving much better fishing conditions ahead. The fishing should pick up on a weekly basis now and the sea-trout are also gathering pace.

As usual we have all the best flies you need to catch salmon, trout and sea-trout on rivers across the whole Northern hemisphere let alone the Helmsdale so have a good look around our website and grab some of our great flies and superb tactical selections, the latest of which is featired below.
