How to fish it · for Trout
When
April–June; late evenings July–September
Where
Start with Minkie (6-10) — on the point. Early in the day, nymphs and buzzers fished slowly tend to outperform attractors.
The plan
Plan A

Start with Minkie (6-10) — on the point. Early in the day, nymphs and buzzers fished slowly tend to outperform attractors.

Plan B

Fish early and late, try deeper during the heat of the day with a fast-sinking line.

Watch for

Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.

Bank

Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.
