    im thinking of doing this:
    Sage a team of a Daddy long legs then a wet fly (black pennel)
    then Greys x-flite with a team of two wet flies (bibio, silver invicta)
    then the other rod as a back up is that a good setup?
    any fly recommendations would help thanks

    During Thunder no, right after possibly. A heavy downpour can activate the top layer of a lake however very rarely do you have a good breeze for a wave after a thunder cell passes through. Had 3 go over my head last year and they glassed off the lake for half an hour each time.
    Flies for this time of year would be different Sedge patterns, Red Arsed Green Peter is my fav, Cock Robin, Golden Olive Bumble, Octopus, Daddy Longlegs, a few Mayfly patterns and a few fry imitations, Peter Ross, Zulu, Alexandria, Mar Lodge.
    TBH dapping in August with Daddys and Grasshoppers is deadly as is dry fly fishing in the evenings, using Sedge patterns.
