Start with Diawl Bach (12-14) — on the bob / top dropper — slow figure-of-eight retrieve. 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.

Three clear spring-fed waters in Brenchley Wood near Matfield/Pembury, Kent: a main lake of rainbow and brown trout plus the Spring and Brown ponds reserved for brown trout, with strong evening hatches and dry-fly sport. County hint of 'Worcestershire' appears to be an error — this is a Kent fishery.
