How to fish it · for Rainbow
When
March–November
Where
Start with Chironome (12-16) — on the bob / top dropper. Early in the day, try buzzers on a slow figure-of-eight or a booby on a fast-sink line near the bottom. Rainbows respond to more active retrieves — try short strips between pauses.
The plan
Plan A
Start with Chironome (12-16) — on the bob / top dropper. Early in the day, try buzzers on a slow figure-of-eight or a booby on a fast-sink line near the bottom. Rainbows respond to more active retrieves — try short strips between pauses.
Plan B
Fish early and late, try deeper during the heat of the day with a fast-sinking line.
Watch for
Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.
Bank
Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.
