How to fish it · for Rainbow
When
Conditions are not ideal but fishable at Domaine de Coyolles. The ripple should help fish move and feed more confidently.
Where
Start with Small Damsel (8-12) — on the point. Midday in warm weather — switch to a fast-sink or Di-7 and fish boobies or blobs along the bottom. Rainbows respond to more active retrieves — try short strips between pauses.
The plan
Plan A

Start with Small Damsel (8-12) — on the point. Midday in warm weather — switch to a fast-sink or Di-7 and fish boobies or blobs along the bottom. Rainbows respond to more active retrieves — try short strips between pauses.

Plan B

Fish early and late, try deeper during the heat of the day with a fast-sinking line.

Watch for

Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.

Bank

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

Ranked for today
Rainbow fly box

Closer to wild-lake trout fishing than to competition réservoirs. More room for naturals, caddis, buzzer, terrestrial and modest lure use.

About this water

A private fly-only domain in the Aisne valley: seven hectares of grounds, five lakes, around four hectares of water, all of it fed by the sources of the Automne. Fly fishing only on every lake. The closest thing to a destination fly venue within ninety minutes of Paris, and the most likely place to spend a full day without feeling that you have settled. The lakes vary in character; the fishing has the considered, well-managed feel you would expect from a place that has decided to do one thing properly rather than three things vaguely.
