How to fish it · for Rainbow
When
1 March - 31 October, 8h-18h, closed Mondays
Where
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.
The plan
Plan A
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.
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.
