Wind driftSW wind
South-western end
A southwesterly has held for 13 hours, running colder than the water (3°C air against 9°C water). The end it blows into is taking that chilled surface water, so try the sheltered south-western end instead — off the back of the wind, where the undertow returns food along the bottom. That chill sits in the top of the water, though, and the bed is slower to feel it — on a bottom bait it is the undertow, not the temperature, that puts you at this end. Treat it as a tiebreaker between good swims rather than an override — features and angling pressure usually count for more.
How to fish it · for Rainbow
When
April–October
Where
Start with Black Buzzer (12–14) on a slow, natural presentation — check locally for the preferred 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 Black Buzzer (12–14) on a slow, natural presentation — check locally for the preferred 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
Slow down everything. A booby on a fast-sinking line, left static, can pick up deep fish.
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.
