Start with Bibio (10-12) — on the bob / top dropper. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.
If surface work dries up, try a diawl bach or hare's ear on the point and skate a sedge pattern on the bob at last light.
Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.
Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.

A good match for Dungonnell Reservoir — most conditions are close to what it fishes best in.
Dungonnell is an upland brown-trout reservoir in the DAERA public estate. It is a straightforward stillwater with clear permit logic and a simple trout focus. Expect a practical rather than glamorous hill-water venue: exposed, fishable from shore, and useful when you want a no-nonsense upland trout option in the Glens.
