A westerly has held for 13 hours, running colder than the water (11°C air against 13°C water). The end it blows into is taking that chilled surface water, so try the sheltered western end instead — off the back of the wind, where the undertow returns food along the bottom. That chill sits in the top of the water, though, and the bed is slower to feel it — on a bottom bait it is the undertow, not the temperature, that puts you at this end. At this strength, castability and safety matter more than which end you pick. Treat it as a tiebreaker between good swims rather than an override — features and angling pressure usually count for more.
Start with Booby (10–12) — on the point. 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.
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 Pisciculture Les Sources d'Elle's sweet spot — it usually fishes best in ripple wind with cloud skies.
