- Free fishing
- Fly only
Start with Minkie (6-10) — on the point. Early in the day, nymphs and buzzers fished slowly tend to outperform attractors.
If surface work dries up, try a diawl bach or hare's ear on the point and skate a sedge pattern on the bob at last light.
Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.
Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.
