    bibio, duck flies, peter ross, connemara black, black pennell, sooty olive and perhaps the Alexander.
    watch out for hatches and, try and match (as best you can) what you see on the water.
    also as its early in the year, give the shallow areas of the lake a go.

    To catch the bigger trout use dry flies in the evening.

    If there is a breeze, wet fly a large black pennell, just as light changes to dark.

    If it's calm, a dry fly sedge, something like a murrough at the same time.

    During the day, if there is a good breeze, find the deepest spot in the lake and fish it with a size 1 Mepps Black fury.
