Set up a broadside drift and cover the water systematically. Work Dry Fly on the bob and Terrestrial on the point. In the ripple, a bushy searching dry (Hopper, Shipman's, Elk Hair Caddis) outperforms flush emergers — it stays visible and holds the surface tension.
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.
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.
Three spring-fed fly fishing lakes above the Waveney Valley. Stocked with hard-fighting rainbow trout (up to 13 lb) and wild-origin brown trout (up to 12 lb). Set in wildflower meadow with mature oak trees and open farmland views. Log cabin with tea/coffee, wood burner, disabled toilets. Abundant aquatic wildlife.
