How to fish it · for Trout
When
May–September; mayfly peak June
Where
With limited drift, anchor or fish static from sheltered positions. Work Bibio on the bob and Murrough on the point. In the calm, a single dry fly or buzzer-under-bung approach may be more effective than a drifted team.
The plan
Plan A
With limited drift, anchor or fish static from sheltered positions. Work Bibio on the bob and Murrough on the point. In the calm, a single dry fly or buzzer-under-bung approach may be more effective than a drifted team.
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
Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.
Bank
Flat calm suits bank fishing near features — points, weed beds, and inflows where fish patrol.
