About

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.

 

My father had taught me how to tie flies when I was a kid and due to work commitment I never tied my own I got lazy and just purchased flies. But all the flies were rubbish hooks braking, materials falling off and the price for a fly was getting crazy. My father said if you ever get the chance why don’t you tie up some flies see if they sell and take it from there. Well I did that exact thing tie a selection of flies and put them on my Facebook page and they sold withing seconds a few days later out the blue I got made redundant from my job in the oil industry so I started to tie more flies due to just sitting about doing nothing and yip you guessed it they also sold straight away – so I started “Granite City Fishing”.

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 Granite City Fishing flies are the only flies i now use, all tied by myself!

All flies are tied to order and I use the best UK sourced materials and hooks money can buy from other small UK based businesses like my own that way I also get the great one on one interaction with my suppliers the same interaction I pass on to my customers.

Its really great to now be receiving feedback from like anglers and suppliers who are now seeing the benefits of using the flies that I supply in my online shop.

We also supply fisheries request a partner account.

Remember, a bad days fishing is better than a good day at work!
