- Free fishing
- Fly only
Set up a broadside drift and cover the water systematically. Work Black Pennell on the bob, Ke-He on the middle dropper, and Marabou Damsel on the point.
If the main plan is not working, switch to a smaller, more imitative pattern fished slower and deeper. A change of drift angle can also make a difference.
Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.
A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.

- Wind conditions (ripple) closely match what this water fishes best in.
- Daddy Longlegs are in their seasonal window, boosting the chance of targeted feeding.
- Trout year-round → year-round
