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 reasonable day here, though cloud isn't quite in the sweet spot.
Craig-y-Pistyll sits in the northern Plynlimon foothills above Talybont — twelve hectares reached by forestry track, lightly fished, with about a mile and a half of bank to walk. Wild brown trout, small but vividly marked in the way upland fish often are. The walk in keeps the pressure off; on a still summer evening you'll have it to yourself and the curlew.
