Good drifting conditions on Étang de Lers
No strong hatch signals at the moment — general searching tactics should work best. The drift should be very fishable for traditional loch-style tactics.

Boat drift recommended
A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.
Approach
Set up a broadside drift and cover the water systematically. Lead with Traditional loch team wets on the point and Dabbler and bumble attractor team on the dropper.

What to watch
The best window in early season is often late morning through the afternoon as the water warms.
Plan B: 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.
Why this advice?
- early season conditions with clear skies and breezy wind.
