How to fish it · for Rainbow
When
Current conditions suit Blackdyke Trout Fly Fishery well for winter tactics. The ripple should help fish move and feed more confidently.
Where
Start with Floating Fry (8–10) on a Fish as a single fly. 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.
The plan
Plan A
Start with Floating Fry (8–10) on a Fish as a single fly. 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.
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.
