How to fish it · for rainbow
When
Conditions are not ideal but fishable at Étang Neuf (Saint-Connan). The ripple should help fish move and feed more confidently.
Where
Start with Caddis Emerger (12-16) on a As per local method. 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.
The plan
Plan A

Start with Caddis Emerger (12-16) on a As per local method. 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.

Plan B

If surface work dries up, try a diawl bach or hare's ear on the point and skate a sedge pattern on the bob at last light.

Watch for

Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.

Either bank or boat

Good ripple suits both bank and boat. Bank: work inflows, dam walls, and points. Boat: broadside drift covering wind lanes.

About this water

A 9-hectare fly reservoir in the Armorican interior of the Côtes-d'Armor, stocked with rainbow trout and managed by the local federation. Float tubes are allowed, which is what makes the still water fish properly — you can work the margins and the drop-offs rather than flogging from the bank. A carte de pêche covers it. Spring and autumn are the honest windows; high summer slows as the shallow Breton water warms.
