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.
Sedge 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.
Numbers are intensity 0 (none) to 3 (peak) — a guide, not a guarantee.
A reasonable day here, though temperature isn't quite in the sweet spot.
Twin llyns in the Nant Gwynant valley below Snowdon. Wild brown trout with dramatic mountain backdrop — perhaps Wales's most photographed fishing location. Capel Curig area. Small wild trout respond to traditional wet flies, dabblers and terrestrials. Day tickets from Plas y Brenin.
