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.
Damsel Nymph may strengthen through the middle of the day as conditions warm.
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.
Southern Germany only. Trout and grayling in Bavarian meadow streams, alpine creeks and famous upper-river systems.
A good match for Schluchsee — most conditions are close to what it fishes best in.
Large reservoirised Black Forest lake at about 930m altitude, cold and deep. Stocked trout and lake-trout fishing is usually best in spring and autumn when fish move closer to the surface. The elevation and exposed position create a window, not a season.
WFD classification · DERW_DEBW_20-05
Seeforelle season is aligned with regional Bavarian alpine-lake rules (1 May – 30 September). Minimum size, retention, and catch limits vary by lake and season. Confirm size limits and any C&R requirements with the permitting authority before fishing.
