With limited drift, anchor or fish static from sheltered positions. Work Black Pennell on the bob, Ke-He on the middle dropper, and Marabou Damsel on the point. In the calm, a single dry fly or buzzer-under-bung approach may be more effective than a drifted team.

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.

Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.

Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.
