A southwesterly has held for most of a day, running warmer than the water (12°C air against 8°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.
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.
Buzzer may strengthen through the middle of the day as conditions warm.
Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.

A reasonable day here, though temperature isn't quite in the sweet spot.
