- [Catching Trout in the cold.](https://www.granitecityfishing.co.uk/catching-trout-in-the-cold/): Winter stillwater trout fishing involves fishing slowly and sometimes not so slowly with larger, more visible, or high-movement lures, such as boobies and snakes, as well as Fritz Lures, nymphs, and buzzers. Adjusting the fishing depth with sinking lines, long leaders, or weighted flies is crucial for finding lethargic fish that hold in specific areas. Techniques include slow retrieves with pauses or static fishing with a bung or indicator. Fluorocarbon leaders and careful casting are essential for minimising tangles.  Key Principles Effective Lures & Flies Techniques & Equipment

Here’s a more detailed breakdown: Retrieve Techniques: Tips for Fishing Yellow Dancers:

We got to the fishery at about 8am, and when we got there the weather was cloudy, mild, and not a breath of wind, but strangely there was not a lot of fish rising. Therefore, I decided to rig up two rods with the bung and another with an intermediate ready for pulling a lure. I decided that I would start on the bung set-up: I always fish a two-fly set-up and ... Read more

Intersperse these static ‘on the drop’ periods with some choppy figure-of-eight retrieval movements to simulate the thrashing movement of the natural bloodworm. ■Try different different colours as all colours work don’t let others say they don’t as they do lol ■ If in ...

- [GCFflies winter flies.](https://www.granitecityfishing.co.uk/gcfflies-winter-flies/): With the colder months fast approaching I thought I would give you all a wee list of some of my best colder weather flies that I tie. John Deer caught winter Rainbow. I love winter fishing as it can be so much better than fishing in the hot summer especially these days as the summers are so much hotter yes hotter not warmer lol. When mercury starts dropping around the UK this does not mean an end to your fly fishing season. In fact I personally think it’s the start of my season as I am not a fan of ... Read more
- [Fishing the Bung.](https://www.granitecityfishing.co.uk/fishing-the-bung/): Bung fishing is a great way for those of you who have less mobility to enjoy fly fishing again. As you cast a lot less, once you have casted out, you can have a chair with you and sit there holding your rod and watching the bung. The only way to describe ‘the bung’ is as a float, a strike indicator. It’s designed to suspend a single or team of flies at a certain depth, allowing your fly to fish in the taking zone longer than when using a conventional sinking fly line. As is everything in fly fishing, the ... Read more

Stalking bugs. The fly itself is a simple fly designed to sink fast there’s a few ways the fly can achieve this, one is by added weight the fly tiers (me lol) will add a bit of lead onto the fly under the materials, two you use a tungsten bead this is a heavy metal and will sink the fly fast, ...

And as of yesterday this ... Read more
- [How to fish the Blob Fly](https://www.granitecityfishing.co.uk/how-to-fish-the-blob-fly/): Hint’s & tip’s on how to fish the blob fly. What is a blob fly? The blob fly is a short and bulky trout fly made from colourful (often orange) fritz wrapped around a short shank wide gape hook. It’s often said that the blob imitates a cloud of Daphnia, but it isn’t actually supposed to be a natural imitation of anything. Instead, it’s an attractor pattern designed to grab the attention of passing trout. Who invented the blob? The blob was invented by Coventry-based fly fisherman Paul McLinden who, despite being Scottish, is an England International fly angler. He ... Read more
- [The Count Down Method](https://www.granitecityfishing.co.uk/the-count-down-method/): Use the countdown method One of the key things you’re trying to do when you’re trout fishing is to find the depth at which the fish are holding. This will change according to the light levels, water temperature, wind levels, and insect hatches, so you’ll need to use the countdown method throughout your day. After you’ve cast your flies, give the line a pull to straighten it out and ensure you’ll feel any takes, and then countdown down for 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 seconds to allow your flies to sink through the depths. With each consecutive cast, use a ... Read more

- [What are cormorant flies & how to fish them.](https://www.granitecityfishing.co.uk/what-are-cormorant-flies-how-to-fish-them/): What are cormorant flies? The cormorant is a small black fly that has become very popular with Stillwater fly fishers in the UK. It’s a very simple pattern, consisting of a usually skinny body, a small wing of black marabou, and sometimes some cheeks or a bit of flash for added attraction. What are cormorants supposed to resemble? Cormorants don’t imitate any specific aquatic invertebrates, but they also look a little bit like a lot of them, which probably explains why they can work so well. A cormorant fly could fool a trout into thinking it was a nymph, a ... Read more

- [Brown Trout from Fourge Fishery](https://www.granitecityfishing.co.uk/brown-trout-from-fourge-fishery/): Haven’t been able to get out fishing for nearly a month but finally got out for a few hours up at Forgue Fishery yesterday and boy was it worth it. We got to the fishery for about 12ish and on arrival, we were greeted with one of the ponds frozen right over but the main 2 were ice-free (think this was due to the two swans keeping the water agitated so not able to freeze over) and we had clear blue skies and temperature of about -1 and not a breath of wind. There were 5 others on the fishery ... Read more
- [Last but I think is the most important point's.](https://www.granitecityfishing.co.uk/last-but-i-think-is-the-most-important-points/):  PHOTOGRAPH FISH SELECTIVELY, QUICKLY & CREATIVELY So you do a good job landing the fish quickly, keep it off the rocks, use a landing net. Then you ruin it all by holding the fish out of the water for 2 minutes as you attempt to get the grossly over-done photo commonly known as the grip and grin. This is rough on two levels. One, every second you keep the fish out of the water decreases it’s chance to survive and two, you look like every other guy holding a fish. Below are some creative photos I’ve found online that are ... Read more
- [C&R (part 3)](https://www.granitecityfishing.co.uk/cr-part-3/): USE A RUBBER LANDING NET IN THE WATER While a quick catch and release with wet hands without a net is safe, if the fish is too excited or too large, it can be messy to try to land them without a net.  Using a net and keeping the net in the water will provide proper environment to land the fish safely. Use these tips to land the fish safely: Use a large rubber landing net – other nets that have knots or string netting can be just as harmful as putting them on the bank. Keep the net in ... Read more
- [C&R (part 2)](https://www.granitecityfishing.co.uk/cr-part-2/): 1 – WATCH THE WATER TEMPS Water temps above 20C produces stress on all trout species and the higher the temps get, the bigger chance they have of getting over-exhausted and dying after being released most fisheries now close these days when they think the fish are starting to stress out. 2- FISH BARBLESS HOOKS Barbs increase the size of the puncture in a fish’s mouth and tears more of their skin when they are removed. These wounds don’t heal as well and can harm the fish’s ability to survive. Pinching your barbs makes for an easier release and for ... Read more
- [Common Myths of Catch and Release (Part 1)](https://www.granitecityfishing.co.uk/common-myths-of-catch-and-release/): Common Myths of Catch and Release Let’s go over a few quick myths of catch and release so we don’t make the mistake of thinking we did a good job, but likely sent the fish off to his death. MYTH 1 – THE FISH SWAM OFF SO HE’S OK This is a big fat lie. Over 90% of fish mortality happens after the fish swims off. I’ve seen fish released by people only to see the fish belly up 2 hours later. This is why we need to practice the best technique in catch and release every time because once ... Read more
- [Fish the hang](https://www.granitecityfishing.co.uk/fish-the-hang/): Fish the hang If you’ve ever fished a Stillwater fly fishery with very clear water, you’ll know quite how many trout you can get following in your fly to the bank without taking it. This is something that those of us who fish murkier stillwaters often miss. Those following trout will often take the fly if you vary the retrieve halfway through the cast, but if that fails, then fishing the hang is the next best option. To do this, all you do is come to the end of your retrieve and count to 10. Stop and let your flies ... Read more
- [ If you can't get a bite, try fishing static.](https://www.granitecityfishing.co.uk/40080-2/):  If you can’t get a bite, try fishing static. Sometimes no matter what flies you try, what depth you fish, or what speed of retrieve you use, you just can’t persuade a trout to take a moving fly. This seems to be especially common when it’s really warm or really cold. If you struggle to get a bite, it’s always worth trying to fish your flies completely static to see if this attracts any attention. It’s always my son-in-law’s first tactic if he can’t get a bite. He’ll snip off the old fly, tie on a blob, squirmy wormy, egg fly ... Read more
- [Fishing the squirmy wormy.](https://www.granitecityfishing.co.uk/fishing-the-squirmy-wormy/): Fishing on Stillwaters Typically, on still waters, the squirmy wormy is fished using two approaches… a) Fished like a lure on an intermediate or sinking line. Cast it out, allow it to sink, and then pull it back using short erratic pulls to kick as much life into the legs as you can. Often it is beneficial to pause several times during the retrieve because this provides time for slow-moving fish to take the fly. While witching the fly, you’re likely to experience trout nipping at the fly before taking it. Therefore, it is best to do a short line ... Read more
- [Look and target nooks and crannies.](https://www.granitecityfishing.co.uk/look-and-target-nooks-and-crannies/): When fishing don’t just fish the easy places look for areas that are hard to fish as these will be fished a lot less and not as disturbed as the easy access areas if you have to learn how to roll cast this will help you in the hard to fish areas. Don’t forget that the trout like to hide in little nooks and crannies look for reed banks, weeded areas, structures in the water, corners where the wind is blowing into as that’s where the food is going to be so will the fish. Use polarised glasses so you ... Read more
- [Vary your retrieve to induce a take](https://www.granitecityfishing.co.uk/vary-your-retrieve-to-induce-a-take/): Stillwater trout are often highly pressured. Every day they’ll see hundreds and hundreds of flies zipping past them at a variety of speeds. This can make them wary and although they’ll often follow your fly, getting them to take it isn’t always as easy as it might first appear. Varying the retrieve speed you use – both on different retrieves and within the same retrieve can make all the difference. Don’t just keep doing one-foot strips at the same speed all day or figure-eight retrieve on every cast. Try some really slow retrieves, try short stop retrieve, try some normal ... Read more
- [Remember that Stillwater’s aren't still](https://www.granitecityfishing.co.uk/remember-that-stillwaters-arent-still/): Although they’re called Stillwater’s, and all you’ll see from above is a bit of surface ripple, Stillwater’s aren’t actually still beneath the surface. The wind action on most lakes causes the water to move constantly, which means that food is always on the move with the trout following it. Trout in rivers usually position themselves with their noses pointing upstream so they can effortlessly consume anything that drifts past them. Trout in Stillwater’s can behave similarly and will sometimes position themselves into the wind. Obstacles, such as points and islands, also affect the movement of the water, so look for ...

- [Mop flies and how to fish them.](https://www.granitecityfishing.co.uk/mop-flies-and-how-to-fish-them/): Probably one of if not the most controversial fly (Lure) to hit the Stillwater scene in years the mop fly is a fly I sell 100s and that’s because it works. Fishing the mop fly is easy and can be fished on all fly lines from the floating line to a fast sinking line from a very slow retrieve to a fast retrieve will work great but I think the best ways to fish the mop fly are as follows. Method 1 Floating Line Use a floating line with a leader of about 4-5ft or longer this is up to ... Read more
- [ If the sun comes out.](https://www.granitecityfishing.co.uk/if-the-sun-comes-out/):  If the sun comes out, fish deeper Where other animals have eyelids they can squint, or pupils that can constrict to help block out bright light, trout do not. They can’t squint and their pupils don’t constrict. Their eyes are adapted for lower light levels, so when it’s sunny, they don’t feel that comfortable and they’ll drop through the water layers to find deeper water where less light has penetrated. When the sun comes out, make sure that you change to fishing deeper, otherwise, the trout may miss your flies.
- [Check your leader for knots.](https://www.granitecityfishing.co.uk/check-your-leader-for-knots/): Check your leader for knots Wind knots are actually caused by creating tailing loops when you cast and are evident as little overhand knots that appear along your leader. They look insigificant, but they can reduce the strength of your line quite a lot – maybe 40%, some tests reckon. Check your leader regularly for signs of wind knots and change the line if it’s knotted, otherwise, you may lose any fish you hook, especially if they smash the flies hard or if they’re of above-average size. Work on your casting to try and reduce the likelihood of other knots ... Read more
- [Don't standstill](https://www.granitecityfishing.co.uk/dont-standstill/): Stay on the move Lots of Stillwater fly fishers have a tendency to stay in the same place for long periods of time, repeatedly thrashing the same piece of water, often without fan casting. Remember fish can swim and will move about the pond so search for them You’ll usually stand a better chance of finding the fish if you move every 10-15 minutes or so, once you’ve fan casted a couple of times and searched the depths with the flies of your choice. Of course, if you get some interest, stay longer, or give the spot a short rest ... Read more
- [Stillwater fly fishing tips](https://www.granitecityfishing.co.uk/stillwater-fly-fishing-tips/): Use the fan casting technique Most fly fishers have a natural tendency to cast immediately in front of themselves on every spot at which they fish. This means their flies will only be covering a narrow strip of water, and the trout maybe somewhere else. Instead, try to cover the whole area of water in front of you, including the margins on either side. Imagine a grid or fan pattern drawn on the water, and place your casts from as far left as you can go, all the way around the fan until you’ve covered the area to your right. ... Read more
