- Free fishing
- Fly only
Start with Marabou Damsel (8-12) — on the point. 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.
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.
Conditions are away from Barnsley Trout Club's sweet spot — it usually fishes best in ripple wind with cloud skies.
Terrain map
- High temperatures may push fish deeper and reduce surface activity.
- Damsel Nymph is in its seasonal window, boosting the chance of targeted feeding.
- Trout 1 April → 30 September
