Moderate rainfall (7mm) may bring some water movement. Watch for fish moving to new lies as water rises slightly.

Head to
Wind driftS wind
Southern end

A southerly has held for 6 hours, running colder than the water (14°C air against 16°C water). The end it blows into is taking that chilled surface water, so try the sheltered southern end instead — off the back of the wind, where the undertow returns food along the bottom. That chill sits in the top of the water, though, and the bed is slower to feel it — on a bottom bait it is the undertow, not the temperature, that puts you at this end. Treat it as a tiebreaker between good swims rather than an override — features and angling pressure usually count for more.

How to fish it · for Rainbow
When
Year-round, especially spring and early autumn
Where
With limited drift, anchor or fish static from sheltered positions. Work Small streamers on the bob and Blob-style attractors on the point.
The plan
Plan A

With limited drift, anchor or fish static from sheltered positions. Work Small streamers on the bob and Blob-style attractors on the point.

Plan B

If the main plan is not working, switch to a smaller, more imitative pattern fished slower and deeper. A change of drift angle can also make a difference.

Watch for

Watch for Silverhorns & Longhorns towards evening — this could be the best window of the day.

Bank

Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.

About this water

Corranny is a compact stocked rainbow-trout lake in the Rosslea area. It is one of the cleaner small-water adds because the trout focus, season and access rules are all explicit in official DAERA material. Large attractor flies early and smaller dries or nymphs in warmer conditions are specifically called out, so anglers get a clearer picture here than they do on many minor stocked waters.

Why this score
  • Wind conditions (strong) are not ideal for this water.
  • Buzzer is in its seasonal window, boosting the chance of targeted feeding.
