A W wind today is pushing food and drift lanes toward East bank. Fish stack progressively at the windward bank — work the exposed shore toward the sheltered end.
Start with Booby (8-10) on a fast strip on floating line or static on sinking. Rainbows respond to more active retrieves — try short strips between pauses. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely. In the ripple, a bushy searching dry (Hopper, Shipman's, Elk Hair Caddis) outperforms flush emergers — it stays visible and holds the surface tension.
Fish early and late, try deeper during the heat of the day with a fast-sinking line.
Watch for Silverhorn towards evening — this could be the best window of the day.
Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.

Conditions are away from Barrow Tanks's sweet spot — it usually fishes best in ripple wind with cloud skies.

- Buzzers are in their seasonal window, boosting the chance of targeted feeding.
- Trout late February → mid-November
