With limited drift, anchor or fish static from sheltered positions. Work a bushy searching pattern on the bob and drop a contrasting nymph on the point. In the calm, a single dry fly or a slowly-fished nymph tends to out-fish an active retrieve.
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.
Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.

More straightforward stocked-water behaviour than the upland competition reservoirs, with stronger early-season lure and booby bias but still good natural-fly periods.
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.
