How to fish it · for Trout
When
May–September
Where
Work a bushy searching pattern on the bob and drop a contrasting nymph on the point.
The plan
Plan A
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
Watch for Sedge towards evening — this could be the best window of the day.
Bank
Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.
