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.

A good match for Ffynnon Lloer — most conditions are close to what it fishes best in.
The highest of the Ogwen Valley AA waters at six hundred and seventy-eight metres — a tiny Carneddau cwm lake, two hundred and fifty by a hundred and fifty metres, in the cwm beneath Pen yr Ole Wen and Carnedd Dafydd. Excellent wild brown trout to a pound on a water you can walk round in twenty minutes if you don't fish it. Traditional fly only, no bubble float. Forty-five to sixty minutes' walk in from the road.
