Fished on Saturday just gone and had 6 'bows from my local club water. I was pleased with this as it was very windy making casting interesting and cold with it, with all my fish coming to a GRHE on an intermediate line.
My problems was this, I tried fishing a floating line but, with the wind blowing from left to right, the drift on the water was quite strong, thereby making presentation for nymphs and buzzers nigh on impossible. The lakes are very elongated and fishing is mainly from one long length of bank so moving to have the wind off my back or in my face wasn't an option.
My questions is this, how do you get round it?
I wondered about fishing buzzers on the intermediate but would the retrieval of line against the sink rate of line be enough to get an even retrieve, or would the flies still sink even though being retrieved, bearing in mind that I would still like a very slow figure of eight retrieval.
Any pearls of wisdom you can offer on this would be greatly appreciated as it's not something I can think of a way to combat.
Cheers,
Adrian
