The Helmsdale has woken up a little as catches on the Association water have shown. The river is still low which suits this beat best and an encouraging number of fine grilse have been caught recently, it is hoped that the run will build over the next few weeks.

On that basis we are offering a July Bogof ( buy one get one free ) on one of the most successful Helmsdale flies these days, The Alistair, but, these gorgeous smart creations have a difference. "Classic Helmsdale style" fishing sports a "dropper" and tail fly setup for "dibbling" in the faster water which is hugely effective on all small to medium sized rivers in the uk, These "Naked" Alistair Patriot doubles are perfect for each point on your cast but have no body materials to worry about getting savaged by the razor sharp teeth of fresh salmon. You definately need some in your box this summer, they come very highly recommended...check them out below and grab some whilst our stocks last, you won't be disappointed!
