How to fish it · for Trout
When
June to August
Where
Set up a broadside drift and cover the water systematically. Work Bibio on the bob and Green Peter on the point.
The plan
Plan A
Set up a broadside drift and cover the water systematically. Work Bibio on the bob and Green Peter 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
Buzzer may strengthen through the middle of the day as conditions warm.
Boat — drift
A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.
