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. When no hatch is visible, a buzzer team — black stripped quill on the point, attractor or pearl-rib on the top dropper — is the default starting point on any UK stillwater.
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 good match for Two Mile Lake — most conditions are close to what it fishes best in.
Two Mile Lake in Duck Mountain Provincial Park is a managed Parkland stocked-trout stillwater holding rainbow, brown and brook trout — cool escarpment water for the full chironomid-and-leech game, a quieter alternative to the busy Patterson and Tokaryk.
A Duck Mountain escarpment lake stocked with rainbow, brown and brook trout. Cool, productive managed stillwater.
