- The third day fishing on the Helmsdale trying to catch the elusive spring salmon . we could only fish until early afternoon as we had to drive home
The weather changed for the worst. On Sunday the main A9 was blocked due to heavy snow fall so it was a good call to leave when we did

Hi Iain, another great video on a cracking stretch of water again. Don’t think the sun helped you when you first started but wow it doesn’t matter when you got scenery like that. Can’t wait for the next one Iain , take care and Thankyou for sharing. Steve. 🍷
There is one thing wrong with having a couple of days in such perfect places Steve ......... I have to go home and think about going to have a cast in another river in the hope that ...... or in the knowledge that I am going to have fun 🥳🎣.
Cheers Iain. 🥃
What a beautiful river to fish. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Its the first time fishing there Frank like Arnold ill be Back !!
Cheers Iain 🥃
'Big Rock' and 'Little Rock' looked in great shape, prolific beat 6 pools, thanks for the content. Safe travels, tight lines
Hi Rory You obviously know the water and that is an advantage. In hope that your Knowledge stands you in good stead for the season. Tight lines Cheers Iain 🥃
More great looking water!! Glad you made it home safely!!!
Thanks Bob I have had flashbacks of the river and how I would enjoy fishing the pools in the summer inf my pocket was big enough Cheers Iain 🥃
stunning video, what an incredible place to fish, if only we had springers like we used to !!
We can only dream of the way it was ......... Until anglers can release there Spring fish without handling them we will always see a decline Cheers Iain. 🥃
I have to agree with you Ian what a lovely place to be is right. Beautiful stretch of river. Tight lines for the next one.
The worst thing about visiting such beautiful places Paddy is we have to go home . then we have to plan a trip and once we have we are then full anticipation and looking forward and dream about what we have experienced All the very best and tight lines to yourself Cheers Iain. 🥃
A beautiful part of the country simply carved out for some good fishing and as you have said, fun! Have a good season and look forward to more of your vids 😎🍺🍺
Thanks once more Mr Mazo I have been blessed and also lucky to have so much fun . Cheers Iain 🥃
What a lovely place to fish. That last pool; if you hooked a springer in there you’d have to swim after it!🎣
I think that I would need some assistance Stephen . I don't think that a fish would stay in the pool but to was fun having a cast . the scenery made the day. Cheers Iain 🥃
Hi Iain, glad you had good January weather. The Helmsdale is a beautiful river, I always stopped to look at it on route to and from my Thurso work trips, even staying in the hotel one night back in the early 1990s.
Pity no springers to see.
Nick from York
there are so many great rivers on the North and North East rivers Nick .... If only you had taken a rod and skived off for day
there were no springers caught even although every one tried hard to do a bit of catching. You know the journey and maybe some day you will make the effort to go see the river Helmsdale up close. Cheers Iain. 🥃
The scenery makes it for me Iain. We don’t go salmon fishing 🎣 to just catch a salmon . Difficult water above the falls to fish , loved the scenery all 3 videos
It was a great few days Tony The scenery and the company play a big part in our fishing trips and I am looking forward to getting out again soon I hope that your plans go well tight lines. Cheers Iain. 🥃
Have a safe trip home ian lovely part of Scotland good looking river m8
I managed to get home safely John I was a bit tired with the fishing and socialising . Fished until about 2pm and then had a 4 hour drive . It took me a couple of days to recover but enjoyed every minute of the trip . Cheers Iain. 🥃
Safe Journey Iain , looking forward to your next river visit Danny 🥃
Thanks Daniel I got home safely and very tired , I have been out since and still to play with editing my trip . I have tried a couple of times and have fallen asleep . I hope its not to boring 😉
Cheers Iain 🥃
0:54 wow what a fabulous video.Must put this river on my bucket list.Just makes me want to fish although I can’t due to the huge deluge of water we have on our local River Laune in County Kerry !!!
We landed lucky in our three days in Helmsdale Michael the day after we left the main road north was closed due to heavy snow fall and since then the storms have brought in a lot of water
I hope your season gets better Cheers Iain. 🥃
Such a beautiful river!
It is one of Scotlands premier salmon rivers and at the hight of the season it's very difficult to have the chance to fish it. there is however a section of the river that is run as an association beat and can be productive and hopefully I will manage to fish it sometime soon Cheers Iain. 🥃
The River cry’s out salmon… beautiful spot..
It's one of Scotlands best and there is a queue to book for a week on the prime beats . there is a section of the river that is available through the local association that can be productive and I hope that I can get there to fish sometime soon Cheers Iain. 🥃
Great video
Thank you young man 😉. Keep enjoying your fishing and adding to RUclips Cheers Iain 🥃
Very nice iain 😊
Thanks guys hope we can meet up at Upper Delvine some time or at one of the other P&D beats Cheers Iain. 🥃
thzx for videos where i live we had -36 and to be able to flyfish is in may
Thanks for your comment Niklas I hope that you have another good season Cheers Iain. 🥃
Nice to see fishing from dawn to dusk on such a wonderful part of the country side. Iain is there any record oif what is caught and released on the rivers you fish? Just finished our annual salmon conference on the River Rhine and a great deal of effort goes into monitoring if what is still there?
on the rivers in Scotland records have to be recorded as there are levels to be paid to the relevant authorities . On the the river Tweed the levies are based on a five year average and the Tweed commissioners decide how much they require to pay for river bailiffs, scientists and conservation ect. there is a lot of money taken in but some beats don't see any benefit from the money that is accumulated Cheers Iain. 🥃
We're there any springers caught on the river looks a great place.
I don't believe that there were any spring fish caught James . The river has the potential and the History to produce the first fish of the season but alas not so far this season. Cheers Iain 🥃
@@IainSB at least you gave it a go next time a springer waiting for the special 🤞
Too many fishing on that wee river that would annoy me.
There were lots of places that you could have a cast in piece iiIt is a ritual to go fish on one of the best rivers when you would not get the chance at any other time Cheers Ian. 🥃
