Start with Cormorant (10–12) — on the bob / top dropper. 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.
Slow down everything. A booby on a fast-sinking line, left static, can pick up deep fish.
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.

Boat-friendly, competition-influenced, often wind-driven, with strong top-of-water periods but also classic deep searching and washing-line phases.
A good match for Tan-y-Mynydd Trout Fishery — most conditions are close to what it fishes best in.
A Troutmasters venue, barbless-only throughout. The fishery produces its own Skinny Buzzer range, which is a useful clue about what works: precise, slender midge imitations fished on fine tippet consistently outperform attractor flies here.
A North Wales commercial fishery at Moelfre near Abergele, operating multiple pools with an unusually broad species list — rainbow, brown, blue, and tiger trout, with a fishery record rainbow at 21lb and brown trout to 10lb plus.
