The Alistair fly is without doubt in the top 3 Helmsdale killers of all time. Not one of the most complex designs, infact the original summer fly was simply a bunch dirty yellow bucktail tied on a bare plastic tube. More recently the Alistair has made its name as a tube tail fly. Ron Sutherland has now refinined the pattern on a class Gold Partridge Patriot double for use as a dropper or a tail fly which is fished classic Helmsdale style whilst "dibbling". Of course, this fly is not exclusively programmed to catch Helmsdale fish - it does the job anywhere! This hot red/gold model is particularly good towards the end of the season. A real Helmsdale Co RS Special.
