When
May–September; mayfly peak late May–June
Where
Work Muddler Minnow on the bob and Perch Fry on the point.
The plan
Plan A
Work Muddler Minnow on the bob and Perch Fry 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.
