How to fish it · for Trout
When
June–September
Where
With limited drift, anchor or fish static from sheltered positions. Work Caddis Emerger on the bob and Diawl Bach on the point. In the calm, a single dry fly or buzzer-under-bung approach may be more effective than a drifted team.
The plan
Plan A

With limited drift, anchor or fish static from sheltered positions. Work Caddis Emerger on the bob and Diawl Bach on the point. In the calm, a single dry fly or buzzer-under-bung approach may be more effective than a drifted team.

Plan B

If the main plan is not working, switch to a smaller, more imitative pattern fished slower and deeper. Move along the bank and try a different angle or depth before changing fly.

Watch for

Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.

Bank

Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.
