Start with Floating Fry (8-10) on a Fish as a single fly. 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.
A fry-imitating pattern stripped through the margins can save a blank in autumn.
Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.
Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.

Conditions are away from Spring Hill Trout Waters's sweet spot — it usually fishes best in ripple wind with cloud skies.
Three clear spring-fed waters in Brenchley Wood near Matfield/Pembury, Kent: a main lake of rainbow and brown trout plus the Spring and Brown ponds reserved for brown trout, with strong evening hatches and dry-fly sport. County hint of 'Worcestershire' appears to be an error — this is a Kent fishery.
