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.

Fish early and late, try deeper during the heat of the day with a fast-sinking line.

Welshman's Button should come on through the afternoon as the water warms.

Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.
