A patient day, if you fancy it
Glassy and bright — hard work without a breeze. A flat lough is a quiet lough — wait for the breeze.

How to fish it · for Trout
When
April–June and September–October
Where
With limited drift, anchor or fish static from sheltered positions. Work a bushy searching pattern on the bob and drop a contrasting nymph on the point. Calm evenings are perfect for individual dry fly work — target rising fish. Keep a sedge-style dry or emerger on a short leader for the evening rise.
The plan
Plan A

With limited drift, anchor or fish static from sheltered positions. Work a bushy searching pattern on the bob and drop a contrasting nymph on the point. Calm evenings are perfect for individual dry fly work — target rising fish. Keep a sedge-style dry or emerger on a short leader for the evening rise.

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

Sedge should come on through the afternoon as the water warms.

Bank

Flat calm suits bank fishing near features — points, weed beds, and inflows where fish patrol.
