Start with Booby (8-10) on a fast strip on floating line or static on sinking. 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. When no hatch is visible, a buzzer team — black stripped quill on the point, attractor or pearl-rib on the top dropper — is the default starting point on any UK stillwater.
Fish early and late, try deeper during the heat of the day with a fast-sinking line.
Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.
Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.

Numbers are intensity 0 (none) to 3 (peak) — a guide, not a guarantee.
A good match for Norfolk & Suffolk Fly Fishers' Society — most conditions are close to what it fishes best in.
- Wind conditions (ripple) closely match what this water fishes best in.
- Cloud cover (cloud) suits the fishery well.
- High temperatures may push fish deeper and reduce surface activity.
- Trout 1 April → 30 September
