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.
High-altitude alpine lake in the Hautes-Alpes, accessible by hiking into pristine mountain terrain. Wild trout in cold, clear water. Shore fishing only — backcountry commitment required. Spectacular views, low pressure, cautious fish. Short season (June–September with snowmelt). Permits required; check local prefecture for regulations.
