How to fish it · for Trout
When
Overcast, breezy conditions; evenings
Where
Start with Cormorant (10-12) — on the bob / top dropper. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.
The plan
Plan A

Start with Cormorant (10-12) — on the bob / top dropper. 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.
