How to fish it · for rainbow trout
When
Year-round
Where
Work Pheasant Tail Nymph on the bob and Diawl Bach on the point.
The plan
Plan A

Work Pheasant Tail Nymph on the bob and Diawl Bach 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

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

Boat — at anchor

Windy conditions suit anchoring in productive areas rather than open-water drifting.

Why this score
  • Wind conditions (windy) are not ideal for this water.
  • Cloud cover (mixed) suits the fishery well.
  • Sedge is in its seasonal window, boosting the chance of targeted feeding.
