How to fish it · for Rainbow
When
April to September
Where
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.
The plan
Plan A

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.

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

Lomond Hills Fishery is a small commercial operation in the Fife hills west of Falkland, stocked with rainbows and fished fly-only from the bank. It's put-and-take water — tickets by the hour or the day, fish put in on a regular schedule, no pretence of being anything it isn't. What it has going for it is the setting (the quiet country between Falkland and Loch Leven) and the convenience for Fife-based anglers who want an evening session without the drive to Loch Leven or Kinross. A small water that fishes best in spring and autumn when the stocking is fresh and the water is cool.
