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. 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.

A good match for Lac du Drennec — most conditions are close to what it fishes best in.
110 ha lake in the Monts d'Arrée. Feral rainbow and wild brown trout. Best spring through early autumn fishing. Fly-fishing opportunity on this substantial lake. Check Finistère regulations for permits and daily catch limits. Car-accessible lake fishing with good potential.
