How to fish it · for Trout
When
The daddy longlegs are on. Wind-blown Terrestrials may also come into play as the day warms. The ripple is helpful — fish should move onto the feed and a slow-drifted team or single wet will cover water well.
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
Sedge should come on through the afternoon as the water warms.
Boat — drift
A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.
