GCFflyshop 30/08/22

 Well, today has been busy first off the vice today was some olive cormorants these are great fished on a floating line static using the wind to move the fly round or use a very slow figure of eight retrieve.

Olive Cormorant tied on #10-#14 for £1 each.


Must be a day of Cormorants as the next two flies are cormorant variants.







A selection of Bunny Leeches was the next flies tied today the bunny leech is one of my own favorite lures to fish on the intermediate very slow figure of eight retreve.


Also tied today was a selection of Mambas this is another fly I have used in fact had a day on one of my not-so-local local fishery and all 12 fish I caught that day were all on mambas pulled on the intermediate


away to start on another order so look out for the next GCFflyshop update.
And remember all the flies can be purchased on the website or by contacting me on Facebook

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 8 bu

Trip to loch insch

 On Tuesday me and my brother had a trip up to Loch Insch Fishery.  First time being there and can say it looks great and definitely will be going back. We both caught 4 rainbows each and two of mine coming on the last 10 minutes of our tickets. All caught on a mixture of lures from GCFLY Shop , we both tried cormorants and other flies throughout the day with no luck.  Plenty of other takes for both of us if we weren’t so rusty. Will definitely be going back again shortly to try to beat our score.
