Start with Spent Gnat (12-14) on a As per local method. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.
Fish early and late, try deeper during the heat of the day with a fast-sinking line.
Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.
Good ripple suits both bank and boat. Bank: work inflows, dam walls, and points. Boat: broadside drift covering wind lanes.
Numbers are intensity 0 (none) to 3 (peak) — a guide, not a guarantee.
A reasonable day here, though cloud 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.
