Fish the Buzzer on your point and Diawl Bach on the dropper, working them slowly in the light ripple created by the overcast conditions and gentle wind. Focus on the shallower margins and drop-off areas where midges are most active at this time of year, retrieving with gentle twitches to imitate emerging pupae.
