How these readings are sourced

No gauge reads this impoundment — level is set by hydro operation at the Moste dam, not by rainfall, so treat any flow-derived read as weather-only context rather than a measurement of this water.

How to fish it · for Trout
When
The murrough is on. Sedge may also come into play as the day warms. Calm conditions may limit drift fishing — consider buzzers or dry fly if fish are rising.
Where
Start with Elk Hair Caddis (12-16) on a on a floating line. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.
The plan
Plan A

Start with Elk Hair Caddis (12-16) on a on a floating line. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.

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.
