Start with Chironome (12-16) — on the bob / top dropper. Evening can produce explosive surface takes — try a foam beetle or booby on a long leader. 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.
