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.
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.
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 good match for this venue — most conditions are close to what it fishes best in.
Killylane is a straightforward DAERA stocked-brown-trout reservoir in upland country. It fills an obvious east Antrim stillwater gap with a clear trout-only public-estate venue and uncomplicated access model. This is not a glamour destination, but it is exactly the sort of dependable local reservoir anglers expect to see covered.
