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.
Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.
Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.

Conditions are ideal for Llyn-yr-Oerfa — wind, cloud and temperature all line up.
The Cold Place, which tells you most of what you need to know. Four hectares of upland water with easy parking and firm footing on one bank — and trickle-stocked brown trout that occasionally push past five pounds. The setting earns the name; the fishing earns the trip.
