Start with Bibio (10-12) — on the bob / top dropper. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.
If surface work dries up, try a diawl bach or hare's ear on the point and skate a sedge pattern on the bob at last light.
Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.
Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.

A reasonable day here, though temperature isn't quite in the sweet spot.
Altnahinch sits in exposed peaty moorland at the head of the Bush system. It is a classic shore-fishing reservoir in rougher country rather than an easy-access stocked park lake. The official DAERA material explicitly points anglers towards small attractor wets such as Bibio and Peter Ross, which tells you a lot about the venue's practical character.
