How to fish it · for Trout
When
March–October
Where
Start with Bibio (10-12) — on the bob / top dropper. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.
The plan
Plan A

Start with Bibio (10-12) — on the bob / top dropper. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.

Plan B

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

Watch for

Watch for Murrough towards evening — this could be the best window of the day.

Bank
