Start with Pheasant tail nymph (12-14) on a As per local method. 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.
Fish early and late, try deeper during the heat of the day with a fast-sinking line.
Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.
A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.
Numbers are intensity 0 (none) to 3 (peak) — a guide, not a guarantee.
Conditions are ideal for Lipno Reservoir — wind, cloud and temperature all line up.
Czech Republic's largest reservoir in the Šumava foothills. Source-led evidence supports it primarily as a large non-trout water with boat fishing for perch, pike, zander and catfish; fly fishing is allowed and the official fishery card allows retention of rainbow trout and brook char, but the main reservoir should not be sold as a core Czech salmonid destination in the same way as the country's true trout-and-grayling rivers.
