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.
Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.
A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.

A reasonable day here, though cloud isn't quite in the sweet spot.
A productive trickle-stocked brown trout pond up in the Ystwyth uplands — small, fly-only, and full of canny specimen fish that have seen most of what a beginner can throw. Morning and evening rises are the best windows; the middle of the day on a still summer's day is the wrong time and the wrong water.
