GCFflyshop @ Forgue


 

Well once more Forgue Fishery did not disappoint and it was fantastic to see so many others out enjoying the fishing, scenery, and the weather pity the latter was just a bit bright and warm for the fishing lol.

I had arranged to meet up with Sarah Watson and her 17-year-old son Josh to try and give him some help to start him on his fly fishing journey.

Well let me tell you it did not take long and Josh was able to start casting and within 5 minutes he had hooked, Panicked and lost his very first rainbow on the fly it was funny to see the panic then the disappointment on his face when he lost it.

I hope Josh sticks to the fly fishing as we so need young blood into our great sport of fly fishing and hope to see Josh in the next few weeks to see if he has taken in some of the help I gave him and his casting has improved and we can get him a fish and land it this time lol.

AS for my fishing well with helping Josh and having some great chats with other’s I only landed up with 8 but who cares the fish are the extra bonus it’s the place and the atmosphere that makes my day out.

One last thing I am not a trained teacher in the art of fly fishing but I have 45 years of fly fishing experience and nothing makes me happier than helping others to learn our great sport.

So if you want some help with your fly fishing all you need to do is ask and I will be only too happy to help also if you don’t have a rod and reel I have 2 starter kits that I will happily take with me for you to use.

Thanks

GCFflyshop 1st Blog

Well, this is my 1st blog ever as I am not a very confident writer due to my dyslexia all I can say is thank god for the spellchecker. My name is David Whyte (Davie), and I’m based in Aberdeen, “The Granite City”. I have been a fly fisherman for over 40 years, fishing on wild Rivers for Salmon and Trout, as well as in stocked fisheries; if there is a fish there that would take my fly I am there! Over the years I got more and more disappointed with the flies I was buying, I was sick of paying far too much for poor quality flies – so I started “Granite City Fishing” aka GCFflyshop my Facebook name. The only thing I had in mind was to supply anglers with quality flies at a reasonable cost! However, there has to be no compromise on quality, I would not want anyone fishing with flies that I wouldn’t use myself, and the only way I could guarantee that was by tying them myself so I started up Granite City Fishing, all flies are hand-tied by myself on quality hooks and materials most of which

Another great trip to Forgue Fishery.

GCFflies finally got out for a fishing trip over the weekend and once more Forgue fishery did not let us down. We got to the water at about 9a,m and already there were two guys fishing at the far end of the Horseshoe pond for those that don't know that's the pond on the right-hand side of the hut. The water was high in each pond, but that's exactly what I expected due to the rain we have had over the last few weeks. But most importantly it was jin clear and there were a few fishing moving,( more likely taking buzzers) my first thought when I got there was to go a bit deeper and use the intermediate because it was quite cold and only sitting at about 4-5° on a small thermometer I had. But seeing the fish moving I decided I needed to have a closer look at the water before deciding what method I would use. When I stood at the water for about 5 minutes it was like a millpond not a breath of wind on the water so I could see loads of trout just cruising past and they were only ab
