Start with Pheasant Tail Nymph (14-18) on a slow figure-of-eight retrieve. 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.
A fry-imitating pattern stripped through the margins can save a blank in autumn.
Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.
Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.

Numbers are intensity 0 (none) to 3 (peak) — a guide, not a guarantee.
Sight-nymphing and technical dry-fly fishing on very clear trout and grayling rivers, with strong mayfly and sedge windows and highly selective fish.
A reasonable day here, though temperature isn't quite in the sweet spot.
Artificial fly-fishing reservoir in exclusive salmonid mode. Day passes available. Brown and rainbow trout stocked. Spring through early autumn fishing. Good for developing fly skills. Check directly with venue for current stocking levels, catch limits, and facility details.
