GCFflyshop @ Forgue Fishery

 Once more Forgue fishery delivered again.

I had the great pleasure of being joined up at the fishery yesterday by two of my customers/friends  David Secker and Colin Adam two great guys and great fishermen as well.

The fishing started off a bit slow but soon picked up I started with the John Deer lure on the intermediate and mixed the retrieve up some time fast some time dead slow and was getting hit after hit but everyone was taking short did take a bit off the tail of the fly hoping it would help but like normally happens the fish stop chasing it as it’s the great movement of the long tail that attracts them.



Whilst I was fishing the John Deer my son-in-law (Connor) had put on one of my bung flies and put on a bumblebee egg and had instant interest taking two fish in two casts and nice 2-3lb fish at that.



Once more I did more talking than fishing for a start but I think it’s all part of fishing nothing better than a good blether with likeminded guy’s lol

We had the great pleasure of helping a guy and his grandson out (I am so sorry I totally forgot to ask your name) I set the young man up with the bung with a Mojito egg and after a wee bit of coaching he hooked and landed a nice fish of about 2lb the smile on his face made my day lol

So back to our fishing Connor was getting fish throughout the day on either the Mojito egg, Fruit salad egg but mostly on the bumblebee so I changed on to the bung and stuck on a bumblebee egg and it was instant fish on and this carried on the rest of the afternoon either on the Bumblebee or the mojito egg the fish just kept on coming.


Connor carried on with the bung right up to the end and his personal best of 14 was broken and he was over the moon he ended up with 19 and had one fish we recon was about 5-6lb.

As for me at about 5.30pm I went back on the John Deer on the intermediate but this time they were not taking short they were taking the fly properly and my last hour was fantastic sport, in the end, I had 27 that two weekends in a row I have had 27.

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog and please comment and share with all your fishing buddies.

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...

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 ...

GCFflyshop at Forgue Fishery

    Well I was meant to post this on Monday morning but just haven’t had the time so typing this up a t half 1 in the morning, that’s dedication for you lol.   So on Sunday GCFflyshop and my future son-in-law had a day up at Forgue due to being quite busy with  tying fly orders and some other holdups I haven’t been since the longest day fishing challenge so was quite looking forward to getting up.   Let me start by saying it was so nice to see Bob back down at the fishery as the last time, I saw him he was not a very well man but was just great to see such an improvement in his health and was also great to have a long chat with him.   As for the fishery I was so pleased to see how good it was looking grass was all cut and best of all the ponds were looking great. In all the summer I have fish Forgue this is by far the best the water has looked.   As you come down the hill on the left you have brown trout so-called as that’s all that w...
