North-western end
A southeasterly has held for 9 hours at much the same temperature as the 18°C water. No thermal steer either way, but the drift still stacks food against the north-western end — the bank it is blowing into — so start there. This reads the upper water, though — a bottom bait at range feels it far less than a floater or a fish in the margins. Treat it as a tiebreaker between good swims rather than an override — features and angling pressure usually count for more.

When
Unknown
Where
Set up a broadside drift and cover the water systematically. Fish TBD after validation as your primary pattern.
The plan
Plan A
Set up a broadside drift and cover the water systematically. Fish TBD after validation as your primary pattern.
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
Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.
Boat — drift
A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.
