Start with Pheasant Tail Nymph (14-16) — on the point — slow figure-of-eight retrieve. Midday in warm weather — switch to a fast-sink or Di-7 and fish boobies or blobs along the bottom. Rainbows respond to more active retrieves — try short strips between pauses.
Fish early and late, try deeper during the heat of the day with a fast-sinking line.
Silverhorn should come on through the afternoon as the water warms.
Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.
