Little recent rain — fresh fish runs unlikely. Focus on resident fish and established lies.

Head to
Wind driftS wind
Northern end

A southerly has held for 7 hours at much the same temperature as the 14°C water. No thermal steer either way, but the drift still stacks food against the northern end — the bank it is blowing into — so start there. This reads the upper water, though — a bottom bait at range feels it far less than a floater or a fish in the margins. Treat it as a tiebreaker between good swims rather than an override — features and angling pressure usually count for more.

How to fish it · for Rainbow
When
Year-round, especially spring and early autumn
Where
Work Small streamers on the bob and Blob-style attractors on the point.
The plan
Plan A

Work Small streamers on the bob and Blob-style attractors 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

Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.

Bank

Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.
