Start with Diawl Bach (12-14) — on the bob / top dropper — slow figure-of-eight retrieve. Midday in warm weather — switch to a fast-sink or Di-7 and fish boobies or blobs along the bottom. Rainbows respond to more active retrieves — try short strips between pauses.
Fish early and late, try deeper during the heat of the day with a fast-sinking line.
Terrestrials may strengthen through the middle of the day as conditions warm.
Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.

Conditions are away from Temple Trout Fishery's sweet spot — it usually fishes best in ripple wind with cloud skies.
A small Bodmin Moor trout fishery set in an old china clay pit, with a long-running local profile and a practical appointment-led access model. The official site says only Mallard Lake is currently open, with Teal Lake temporarily closed; Mallard is fly-fishing only and stocked with rainbow and brown trout from roughly 1.5 lb up to double-figure fish. It is a compact, managed stillwater that runs daily in summer and on reduced winter days, with opening hours from 8am to dusk.
