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.
Murrough should come on through the afternoon as the water warms.
A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.

A good match for Llyn Frongoch — most conditions are close to what it fishes best in.
Frongoch is the Aberystwyth AA's headline water — eight hectares roadside above Pont-rhyd-y-groes, fly-only, four boats, and a stocking policy that puts decent rainbows over a steady head of wild browns. Caravan-holders get priority Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, which is worth knowing if you're planning ahead. The fishing is honest and the access is straightforward — it does what a small Welsh stillwater should do.
