How to fish it · for Rainbow
When
Current conditions suit Llandegla Trout Fishery well for winter tactics. The ripple should help fish move and feed more confidently.
Where
Start with Cats Whisker (10-12) on a figure-of-eight with occasional strip. Early in the day, try buzzers on a slow figure-of-eight or a booby on a fast-sink line near the bottom. Rainbows respond to more active retrieves — try short strips between pauses. When no hatch is visible, a buzzer team — black stripped quill on the point, attractor or pearl-rib on the top dropper — is the default starting point on any UK stillwater.
The plan
Plan A
Start with Cats Whisker (10-12) on a figure-of-eight with occasional strip. Early in the day, try buzzers on a slow figure-of-eight or a booby on a fast-sink line near the bottom. Rainbows respond to more active retrieves — try short strips between pauses. When no hatch is visible, a buzzer team — black stripped quill on the point, attractor or pearl-rib on the top dropper — is the default starting point on any UK stillwater.
Plan B
Slow down everything. A booby on a fast-sinking line, left static, can pick up deep fish.
Watch for
Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.
Bank
Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.

Traditional wild-trout llyn fishing. Wet flies and dabblers stay central, with buzzer, caddis, terrestrials and occasional small fry patterns becoming important as the season warms.
