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.
Green Peter should come on through the afternoon as the water warms.
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 cloud isn't quite in the sweet spot.
White's Lough is part of the Gowla chain — a connected system of Connemara waters that sea trout move through between the coast and the upper system. The Zetland Hotel at Cashel Bay operates the boat for White's and its sister loughs; wet fly on the traditional drift, no permit beyond the state rod licence. The Gowla produces reliable sea trout when the conditions allow, and White's holds fish throughout the summer run.
