How to fish it · for Trout
Where
Start with Bibio (10-12) — on the bob / top dropper. Early in the day, nymphs and buzzers fished slowly tend to outperform attractors.
The plan
Plan A

Start with Bibio (10-12) — on the bob / top dropper. Early in the day, nymphs and buzzers fished slowly tend to outperform attractors.

Plan B

If the daddy is being refused, drop to a hopper or a single foam beetle and cover rising fish individually.

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

Good ripple suits both bank and boat. Bank: work inflows, dam walls, and points. Boat: broadside drift covering wind lanes.
