Rainbow Lake

2011 Review

Last Newsletter for 2011
Another fine year on the lake with 44 20lb plus coming to the bank, the biggest one being 26lb plus caught by Ricky who has won the 1 years free 24hour pass (see the tips tab for further info). Apporx 310 fish caught weighing in at apporx 4600lb, average 14lb 8oz per fish.
As you probably all know by now we have 3 toilets on the lake which you must take credit for helping keep up the good standard of cleandliness, although combo locks have been added so only customers fishing at Rainbow can use them. The combo will be issued on your ticket and changed weekly.
Breakfasts have been well received and we will be continuing them during 2012, available if pre-booked the night before.
We also introduced a new boillie to the lake, specially made for us and supplied by Dave Moore, a well know angler and bait guru. The new bait is called Spectrum and is available by pre-order as is the original Rainbow boillies.
We would like to wish all our customers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and look forward to seeing you down at Rainbow Lake in 2012.
NEW FOR 2012 we will be stocking a range of end tackle and any tackle you may wish to sell, come and see me first, and we may be able to strike a deal.

Since the last catch report, another 12 fish over 20lb have been caught by anglers, with approx another 50 fish coming out, but dont be fooled this is quite a hard water to fish, with bottom baits, pop-ups, floaters and zigs all taking fish. Some pegs may appear to be producing more than others, but this is because they have been fished more. The fish are usually spread quite evenly around the lake, and unpredictable as ever.
The new toilets are getting good reports and we now have all three open.
Breakfasts are still proving a big hit with our anglers, also our good quality bait is selling, and catching well.
Last but not least of all well done to Chris for winning the 2 x 24 hour ticket for the biggest fish of June.

Spawning has started since the last newsletter, and stopped when the weather changed, so we don’t think they have finished. So when the next hot spell arrives we can only assume they will start again.
Since the introduction of the 2 new toilets, behind Peg 7 and bottom car park, because they have been so well received we have decided to add a 3rd one on the path towards the lake from where the caravan is based.

As seen in the catch report our new bait Spectrum is starting to do well, with the old Rainbow bait still taking fish. One notable catch off peg 6 was a young man from Bradford called Luke, who had 3 carp from 18lb 8oz to 24lb 2oz making him a strong contender for fish of the month that will earn him 2 nights free fishing. Well done Luke.
As some of you will already know. The toilet from peg 1 has been moved to the opposite bank near the caravan. It has been replaced by 2 new toilets, one at the car park near peg 7 and the other at the bottom car park near peg 18, with another to be added soon near peg 22.

Both Rainbow and Spectrum baits specially made for our lake are doing well, but also Cell is taking a few, usually with something to tip off the boillie, Peperami, plastic corn or small white pop-ups might do the trick.
