The plan
Plan A
Work a bushy searching pattern on the bob and drop a contrasting nymph on the point.
Plan B
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.
Watch for
Terrestrials may strengthen through the middle of the day as conditions warm.
Boat — at anchor
Windy conditions suit anchoring in productive areas rather than open-water drifting.
