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.
Protected natural lake at the Les Rousses station. Brown trout (min 35 cm), rainbow trout stocked. Fly-fishing opportunity in accessible mountain terrain. Spring through early autumn best. Car-accessible alpine lake. Check Haut-Jura regulations for permits and daily catch limits.
