How to fish it · for rainbow
When
The sedge is on. Caenis may also come into play as the day warms.
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.

About this water

A small thirty-three-acre limestone put-and-take lake near Tullamore, stocked regularly with rainbow and brown trout and giving honest, steady sport. The fish that overwinter grow on handsomely — rainbows of seven to twelve pounds have come out — so it is worth a cast even when the freshly-stocked fish are quiet. The banks are soft, so the provided stands are the safe and sensible place to fish from. Pallas Anglers run it on membership or day ticket.
