Start with Diawl Bach (12-14) — on the bob / top dropper — slow figure-of-eight retrieve. 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.
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.
A reasonable day here, though temperature isn't quite in the sweet spot.
A chalk-stream-fed fishery in the River Nar valley near Narborough, Norfolk — one of only a handful of stillwaters in East Anglia fed by a genuine chalkstream. Five lakes across the 26-acre site; Meadow Lake is fly-only, dedicated catch-and-release, stocked with rainbows averaging 6lb with fish to 14lb and beyond. Chalkstream water keeps it clearer and cooler than most Norfolk fisheries.
