Start with Minkie (6-10) — on the point. 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. Too windy to fish from a boat today — stay on the bank, on the sheltered shore.
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.
Watch for Caperer towards evening — this could be the best window of the day.
Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.
