How to fish it · for Rainbow
When
No strong hatch signals at the moment — general searching tactics should work best. The ripple is helpful — fish should move onto the feed and a slow-drifted team or single wet will cover water well.
Where
Set up a broadside drift and cover the water systematically. Work a bushy searching pattern on the bob and drop a contrasting nymph on the point.
The plan
Plan A

Set up a broadside drift and cover the water systematically. Work a bushy searching pattern on the bob and drop a contrasting nymph 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

Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.

Boat — drift

A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.

About this water

Narrow Hills Provincial Park is central Saskatchewan's stocked-trout heartland — some fifty fishable lakes within and around the park, stocked with rainbow, brown, brook and tiger trout (and splake), with pike and walleye in the larger waters. Cool glacial potholes in jack-pine country make for excellent, accessible stillwater fly fishing far from the prairie heat.

Under the surface

A cluster of around fifty small glacial-pothole lakes in jack-pine country, stocked with the full range of trout (rainbow, brown, brook, tiger, splake) plus pike and walleye in the bigger lakes. Cool, clear and productive — classic accessible stillwater fly water.
