bit of patchy rain today but still went out to the helmsdale. caught 2 lovely salmon, used a green and yellow spinner. the wind was a bit annoying but manageable. still had a great time, can’t complain about being on the water!

sunny again, was feeling lucky. caught about 4 nice trout, biggest was around 4lbs. tried a few flies but the good ol’ bobber and worm setup did the trick. the river was steady, couldn’t ask for a better day!
