Start with Minkie (6-10) — on the point. Early in the day, nymphs and buzzers fished slowly tend to outperform attractors.
Fish early and late, try deeper during the heat of the day with a fast-sinking line.
Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.
Good ripple suits both bank and boat. Bank: work inflows, dam walls, and points. Boat: broadside drift covering wind lanes.

A good match for Eyebrook Reservoir — most conditions are close to what it fishes best in.
Eyebrook Reservoir near Uppingham — a 160-hectare reservoir that closed as a stocked trout fishery in April 2025, when Tata Steel ownership ended and Anglian Water took over. The reservoir has re-opened for coarse and predator angling; wild brown trout may still be present but are no longer stocked. The classic trout-fishing character that gave Eyebrook its loyal following has not survived the transition. Worth confirming current access and species before visiting.
