How to fish it · for Rainbow
When
The buzzer is on. Lake Olive may also come into play as the day warms. The breeze will be blowing terrestrial insects onto the water — check the wind lanes and downwind margins for rising fish.
Where
Work a bushy searching pattern on the bob and drop a contrasting nymph on the point.
The plan
Plan A
Work a bushy searching pattern on the bob and drop a contrasting nymph on the point.
Plan B
If the main plan is not working, switch to a smaller, more imitative pattern fished slower and deeper. A change of drift angle can also make a difference.
Watch for
Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.
Boat — at anchor
Windy conditions suit anchoring in productive areas rather than open-water drifting.
