How to fish it · for Rainbow
When
Current conditions suit New Mills Trout Fishing Park well for summer tactics. The ripple should help fish move and feed more confidently.
Where
Start with Diawl Bach (12-14) — on the bob / top dropper — slow figure-of-eight retrieve. 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 Diawl Bach (12-14) — on the bob / top dropper — slow figure-of-eight retrieve. 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.

About this water

A compact stream-fed trout fishery near Brampton with a clear fly-fishing offer, tackle shop, and a beginner-friendly setup. The fly lake holds rainbow, blue, and brown trout, with fish running to around 12 lb, and the venue operates year-round. It is a relatively small managed water with wheelchair-friendly platforms, so it suits anglers looking for reliable bank fishing rather than big-water searching.
