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.
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.
Sedge should come on through the afternoon as the water warms.
A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.

A good match for Achensee — most conditions are close to what it fishes best in.
Tyrol's largest lake, deep and cold and crystal-clear—the sort of stillwater that demands either a boat or knowledge of the right bank positions. Arctic char, lake trout, and brown trout. Local permits and methods matter; check before you fish.
WFD classification · ATOK301930002
Seesaibling (Arctic char) — Achensee. Tyrolean lake-specific byelaw. Char feed actively near surface in summer. Spawning run October–November — season closes end of September to protect pre-spawning fish. Midges, small nymphs, dry flies in calm evenings. Check Fischereiverein Achensee permit.
