A south-westerly has held for 11 hours, running warmer than the water (14°C air against 12°C water). Expect fish at the north-eastern end — the bank it is blowing into — where the drift piles food, colour and warmth together. This reads the upper water, though — a bottom bait at range feels it far less than a floater or a fish in the margins. Treat it as a tiebreaker between good swims rather than an override — features and angling pressure usually count for more.
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.
Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.
Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.

A reasonable day here, though wind isn't quite in the sweet spot.
Terrain map
- Wind conditions (windy) are not ideal for this water.
- Temperature (cool) is in the sweet spot for autumn fishing.
- Buzzer is in its seasonal window, boosting the chance of targeted feeding.
