How to fish it · for Trout
When
The sedge is on. Murrough may also come into play as the day warms. Calm evenings on lakes can be magical — watch for rises and fish individual fish with dries. Dusk on the lake is prime time for surface feeding — stay out as long as light allows.
Where
With limited drift, anchor or fish static from sheltered positions. Work a bushy searching pattern on the bob and drop a contrasting nymph on the point. In the calm, a single dry fly or a slowly-fished nymph tends to out-fish an active retrieve.
The plan
Plan A
With limited drift, anchor or fish static from sheltered positions. Work a bushy searching pattern on the bob and drop a contrasting nymph on the point. In the calm, a single dry fly or a slowly-fished nymph tends to out-fish an active retrieve.
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.
Either bank or boat
Calm evenings can fish well from bank or boat — target rising fish wherever you find them.
