Set up a broadside drift and cover the water systematically. Work a bushy searching pattern on the bob and drop a contrasting nymph on the point.
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.
Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.
A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.
Numbers are intensity 0 (none) to 3 (peak) — a guide, not a guarantee.
A good match for this venue — most conditions are close to what it fishes best in.
A 35-acre mountain lough at Molls Gap, 6.5 miles from Kenmare on the Kenmare-to-Killarney road. Stocked with triploid rainbow trout. The entire shoreline is overlooked from the road — easy access, visible water, often-rising fish reward shore-casting anglers willing to walk the perimeter. Bank fishing only.
