Dromonby is a small farm fishery tucked under the North York Moors, the kind of honest, unpretentious stillwater that exists all over the north of England and is all the better for it. You're fishing for stocked rainbows mostly, with browns in the mix, against a backdrop of moor and hill that makes even a blank feel like time well spent. The water sits high enough to stay cool, which means it fishes well into summer when lowland lakes have gone warm and lifeless. Spring buzzer hatches bring the fish up; a northern breeze ruffles the surface and gives you cover. It's not difficult fishing, exactly, but it rewards watching the water before you start flogging it. Best read by wind, light and water temperature.
