A patient day, if you fancy it
Glassy and bright — hard work without a breeze. A flat lough is a quiet lough — wait for the breeze.

How to fish it · for Trout
When
June–August
Where
With limited drift, anchor or fish static from sheltered positions. Work CDC Dun (olive) on the bob and Klinkhåmer Special on the point. In the calm, a single dry fly or buzzer-under-bung approach may be more effective than a drifted team.
The plan
Plan A

With limited drift, anchor or fish static from sheltered positions. Work CDC Dun (olive) on the bob and Klinkhåmer Special on the point. In the calm, a single dry fly or buzzer-under-bung approach may be more effective than a drifted team.

Plan B

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.

Watch for

Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.

Bank

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

About this water

The Särna-Idre area sits in northern Dalarna where the plateau rivers drain south and east through spruce and birch forest. Brown trout in the rivers, grayling where the current eases into pool tails, Arctic char in the deeper lakes. The character of the fishing is mountain-modest: the rivers are not large and the hatches are not spectacular, but wild fish in clear water reward persistence. The season is short — June through early September in the best of it — and the midsummer evenings make up for any other shortcomings.
