WFD classification · FRFRR107B_1
A westerly has held for 11 hours at much the same temperature as the 12°C water. No thermal steer either way, but the drift still stacks food against the eastern end — the bank it is blowing into — so start there. This reads the upper water, though — a bottom bait at range feels it far less than a floater or a fish in the margins. Treat it as a tiebreaker between good swims rather than an override — features and angling pressure usually count for more.
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.
Buzzer may strengthen through the middle of the day as conditions warm.
A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.
