The wind has been northwesterly for about a day, but a day of a northeasterly has loaded food into Chingley Corner and Goose Creek. The fish may not have moved on yet — check there before following the new wind direction.
Start with Minkie (6-10) — 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.
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.
Good ripple suits both bank and boat. Bank: work inflows, dam walls, and points. Boat: broadside drift covering wind lanes.

A reasonable day here, though temperature isn't quite in the sweet spot.
Stocked rainbows and brown trout; the sheltered arms fish well in spring with buzzers and small nymphs. Boat and bank fishing; the Hook Straight and Bewlbridge arms are popular. The clay-bed water can colour after rain, which helps lure fishing. Good evening sedge hatches in summer. Managed by Bewl Water Fishery; day tickets, boats, and tuition available.
