A patient day, if you fancy it
Water temperature is the limiting factor today, not the wave. Fish dawn or dusk if you go at all, and handle everything with extra care.

How to fish it · for Trout
When
Approximately April to September, with altitude, access, and local rules checked carefully
Where
Set up a broadside drift and cover the water systematically. Work a bushy searching pattern on the bob and drop a contrasting nymph on the point.
The plan
Plan A

Set up a broadside drift and cover the water systematically. Work a bushy searching pattern on the bob and drop a contrasting nymph 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

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

Boat — drift

A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.

Permits & access
Permit required — see local rules.
  • Permis de pêche (fishing permit) — locally issued
  • Foreign anglers should contact the local HCEFLCD delegation or a Moroccan fishing guide for the area they plan to visit
  • The permit system is not standardised for visitors in the way European systems are — expect local arrangements rather than an online purchase process
  • A guide familiar with the area is strongly recommended for both practical access and permit logistics.
