Set up a broadside drift and cover the water systematically. Fish Damsel Nymph as your primary pattern.
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.
Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.

A practical German stillwater pack for smaller trout lakes, ponds and stocked waters where mobile lures, buzzers, Diawl Bachs and simple nymphs matter more than a pure alpine-lake identity.
A reasonable day here, though cloud isn't quite in the sweet spot.
Practical fly-fishing stillwaters in the Upper Harz rather than glamorous trophy venues. The Oberharz tourism page specifically says fly fishing is particularly good at the Hasenbacher, Prinzenteich and Stadtweger ponds, with a dedicated fishing licence for the Oberharz ponds. Modest but usable stillwater fishing.
