Start with Pheasant tail nymph (12-14) on a slow, natural presentation — check locally for the preferred method. 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.
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.
Flat calm suits bank fishing near features — points, weed beds, and inflows where fish patrol.

Conditions are away from Orlík Reservoir's sweet spot — it usually fishes best in ripple wind with cloud skies.
Large Vltava reservoir whose public identity is overwhelmingly non-salmonid: carp, pike, zander, catfish and other stillwater species dominate how Orlík is described and fished. Fly fishing is allowed and the official fishery card allows retention of rainbow trout and brook char, but this is not well supported as a core Czech trout destination.
Czech non-salmonid predator season is effectively mid-June to year end. Sources vary by wording between June 15/16 because protection runs through 15 June and fishing starts after that.
Carp generally lacks a national predator-style close season in non-salmonid waters, but local fishery rules, daily limits and pond/reservoir operating periods may apply.
