Start with Marabou Damsel (8-12) — on the point. 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.

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.

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

In wind, bank fish the lee shore — boats can anchor in productive areas if conditions allow.
