Start with Diawl Bach (12-14) — on the bob / top dropper — slow figure-of-eight retrieve. Rainbows respond to more active retrieves — try short strips between pauses. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.
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.
Bank fishing near inflows, dam walls, and weed beds. Move to find feeding fish.
Numbers are intensity 0 (none) to 3 (peak) — a guide, not a guarantee.
Conditions are ideal for Packington Somers Fishery — wind, cloud and temperature all line up.
A well-established Midlands fly fishery on the Packington Estate — several lakes in a woodland setting. Regularly stocked with quality rainbows. The variety of lake sizes suits different abilities. Fly-only; day tickets. A reliable Midlands option.
