A westerly has held for most of a day, running warmer than the water (12°C air against 9°C water). Expect fish at the eastern end — the bank it is blowing into — where the drift piles food, colour and warmth together. This reads the upper water, though — a bottom bait at range feels it far less than a floater or a fish in the margins. Treat it as a tiebreaker between good swims rather than an override — features and angling pressure usually count for more.
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.
Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.
A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.

A reasonable day here, though temperature isn't quite in the sweet spot.
Lindesjön is one of eight lakes making up Svartedalens Sportfiske, a Sportfiskarna-run put-and-take system inside the Svartedalen nature reserve and Natura 2000 area, roughly 25km north of Gothenburg. Continuously stocked rainbow trout is the primary target, with pike and perch also present and a small brown trout population. Spin fishing is not permitted here — this is the fly-only water of the group, alongside Böljesjön in the neighbouring Abborresjön cluster.
