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.

Watch for Murrough towards evening — this could be the best window of the day.
A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.
