How to fish it · for Rainbow
When
April to September
Where
Start with Kate McLaren (12-14) — 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 Kate McLaren (12-14) — 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.

About this water

Kinross Trout Fishery is the smaller commercial stillwater in the Kinross area, distinct from the managed boat fishery on Loch Leven itself. It's stocked with rainbows, fished from the bank or from a small number of boats, and run as a put-and-take commercial operation for anglers who want the Kinross area but not the full Loch Leven experience. On a quiet midweek evening, it can give good sport for a couple of hours without the formality of booking a Leven boat days in advance — and for local anglers it's the reliable backstop, the water you can fall back on when the Leven boats are taken or the conditions have put the big loch out of bounds.
