How to fish it · for Trout
When
Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–October); avoid hot summers
Where
Start with Hare's Ear Nymph (12-16) on a slow figure-of-eight retrieve. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.
The plan
Plan A
Start with Hare's Ear Nymph (12-16) on a slow figure-of-eight retrieve. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.
Plan B
A fry-imitating pattern stripped through the margins can save a blank in autumn.
Watch for
Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.
Bank
Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.
