How to fish it · for Trout
When
May–September; September daddy-long-legs is the autumn highlight
Where
Work Bibio on the bob and Black Pennell on the point.
The plan
Plan A

Work Bibio on the bob and Black Pennell 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

Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.

Boat — at anchor

Windy conditions suit anchoring in productive areas rather than open-water drifting.
