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.
Flat calm suits bank fishing near features — points, weed beds, and inflows where fish patrol.

Övre Långevatten is one of eight lakes making up Svartedalens Sportfiske, a Sportfiskarna-run put-and-take system inside the Svartedalen nature reserve and Natura 2000 area, roughly 25km north of Gothenburg. A modest forest lake — 17.5m deep, 0.106km² — continuously stocked with rainbow trout, with pike, perch and a small brown trout population also present. Part of the same wilderness lake-rich bedrock landscape as Klarevatten.
