How to fish it · for Rainbow
When
Year-round
Where
Start with Medium nymphs (10–14) on a slow, natural presentation — check locally for the preferred method. Evening can produce explosive surface takes — try a foam beetle or booby on a long leader. Rainbows respond to more active retrieves — try short strips between pauses.
The plan
Plan A
Start with Medium nymphs (10–14) on a slow, natural presentation — check locally for the preferred method. Evening can produce explosive surface takes — try a foam beetle or booby on a long leader. 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.

Rainbow fly box
Classic French chalkstream fishing. Gin-clear, weed-rich, slow to moderate flow. Dry fly and sight nymphing dominate. Stronger sedge hatches than English equivalents. French tradition favours flush-sitting dries (comparaduns, CDC patterns) and upstream presentation.
