How to fish it · for Trout
When
Late April–June; evening rises through summer
Where
Set up a broadside drift and cover the water systematically. Work a bushy searching pattern on the bob and drop a contrasting nymph on the point.
The plan
Plan A

Set up a broadside drift and cover the water systematically. Work a bushy searching pattern on the bob and drop a contrasting nymph on the point.

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.

Bank

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

About this water

Six hundred metres of bank around a two-hectare pond, six hundred metres further into the Ystwyth uplands than Pond Rhosrydd. A large head of 10-to-16 ounce brown trout that lift to a Coch-y-Bonddu on a warm afternoon and rise to a small sedge through a summer evening. The occasional bigger fish to keep you honest.
