The wind has gone round to a southeasterly in the last 5 hours, but a day of a northerly has loaded food into Bramble Point, Seven Pound Creek and inside The Nose. The fish haven't had time to move on — start there before following the new wind direction.
Start with Minkie (6-10) — on the point. 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.
Flat calm suits bank fishing near features — points, weed beds, and inflows where fish patrol.

A reasonable day here, though wind isn't quite in the sweet spot.
Stocked rainbows and brown trout; the sheltered arms fish well in spring with buzzers and small nymphs. Boat and bank fishing; the Hook Straight and Bewlbridge arms are popular. The clay-bed water can colour after rain, which helps lure fishing. Good evening sedge hatches in summer. Managed by Bewl Water Fishery; day tickets, boats, and tuition available.
