Little recent rain — fresh fish runs unlikely. Focus on resident fish and established lies.
A southerly has held for 7 hours, running colder than the water (3°C air against 8°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.
Set up a broadside drift and cover the water systematically. Work Small streamers on the bob and Blob-style attractors on the point.
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.
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.

A good match for Corranny Lake — most conditions are close to what it fishes best in.
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.
Corranny is a compact stocked rainbow-trout lake in the Rosslea area.
