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.
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 Chatton Trout Fishery's sweet spot — it usually fishes best in ripple wind with cloud skies.
Established 2007, run by David and Gemma Woods near Chatton village below the Cheviot Hills. Three ~3-acre fly lakes (Chatton, Ross, Dunnydeer) plus a separate bait lake (Reddis); on-site caravan park and Level 2 coaching. No rod licence required. The stocking runs to blue and tiger trout as well as browns and rainbows. The tigers are the ones worth changing tactics for — a streamer worked along the drop-off will find them when the surface has died.
