How to fish it · for trout
When
Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–October); avoid hot summers
Where
Start with Klinkhåmer (14-16) on a As per local method. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.
The plan
Plan A
Start with Klinkhåmer (14-16) on a As per local method. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.
Plan B
Fish early and late, try deeper during the heat of the day with a fast-sinking line.
Watch for
Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.
Boat — drift
A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.
