How to fish it · for Rainbow
When
The terrestrials are on.
Where
Work a bushy searching pattern on the bob and drop a contrasting nymph on the point.
The plan
Plan A
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
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.

Permits & access
Permit required — see local rules.

Conditions are away from Oostvoornse Meer's sweet spot — it usually fishes best in ripple wind with cloud skies.
