How to fish it · for Rainbow
When
Conditions are not ideal but fishable at Antelope Lake. The ripple should help fish move and feed more confidently. As the heat eases this evening, fish may move up in the water column.
Where
Start with Balanced Leech (8-12) on a As per local method. 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.
The plan
Plan A

Start with Balanced Leech (8-12) on a As per local method. 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.

Plan B

A fry-imitating pattern stripped through the margins can save a blank in autumn.

Watch for

Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.

Bank

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