Start with Floating Fry (8–10) on a Fish as a single fly. 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.
Slow down everything. A booby on a fast-sinking line, left static, can pick up deep fish.
Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.
Bank fishing near inflows, dam walls, and weed beds. Move to find feeding fish.

Conditions are ideal for Annamoe Trout Fishery — wind, cloud and temperature all line up.
Small, intimate, and well-stocked — the fly-only restriction keeps the fishing technical and rewarding. Booking and details via Annamoe Trout Fishery — www.annamoetroutfishery.com / 0404 45470. Day permits available. Blue trout are stocked among the rainbows. Fly-only rules apply to them as to everything else, and they'll take a slow-fished nymph as readily as a lure once the light goes off the water.
