How to fish it · for Trout
When
The buzzer is on. Lake Olive may also come into play as the day warms. Drift conditions look good — cover the wind lanes.
Where
Set up a broadside drift and cover the water systematically. Work Bibio on the bob and Murrough on the point.
The plan
Plan A
Set up a broadside drift and cover the water systematically. Work Bibio on the bob and Murrough 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.
