How to fish it · for Sea Trout
When
July–August
Where
Set up a broadside drift and cover the water systematically. Work Peter Ross Dabbler on the bob and Silver Dabbler on the point. Have a sedge or murrough pattern ready on a short leader for the evening rise.
The plan
Plan A
Set up a broadside drift and cover the water systematically. Work Peter Ross Dabbler on the bob and Silver Dabbler on the point. Have a sedge or murrough pattern ready on a short leader for the evening rise.
Plan B
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.
Watch for
Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.
Boat — drift
A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.
