- Day tickets
A W wind today is pushing food and drift lanes toward Hook Straight, The Nose and Tinker's Point. Fish stack progressively at the windward bank — work the exposed shore toward the sheltered end.
Start with Diawl Bach (12-14) — on the bob / top dropper. 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.
If the main plan stalls, drop to a size 14–16 midge — switch to a washing-line or suspender rig and change drift line before you change food group.
Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.
Good ripple suits both bank and boat. Bank: work inflows, dam walls, and points. Boat: broadside drift covering wind lanes.
