Please note we do not take advanced bookings and all pegs are on a first come first served basis, and any 20lb plus fish caught must be verified by and independant person to claim free hoody.

Big news for the beginning of July is the start of Lin cooking a full english breakfasts that has been well received from those who have bought one. John takes the order the night before from your peg and its delivered between 8.30am and 10am, and it will be piping hot with knives an forks for £3.50 give it a try.

Gates are open from 8am to 8pm with all people just visisting any angler to leave no later than 8pm. The gates are fitted with combo locks which will only be issued to an angler in an emergancy situation.

There has been a vast improvement in the fishing over April, with no fewer than 11 x 20lb plus fish being taken in this period and a reasonalbe amount of good doubles to back it up.
Wayne fishing peg 1 really took on a very cold northerly wind, read the peg extreamly well, put his bait on the money and had a fabulous first 5 hours over a 2 day stint to land 3 x 20lb plus fish, a lake record catch in such a short time for Rainbow Lake, and a well deserved hoody for Wayne.
Hot on his heels was Lee who took 4 fish in one afternoon including 2 x 20lb plus from Peg 25, well done Lee.
But don’t be missled, this does not happen for everyone. We still say it is a hard water to crack, so well done to Wayne and Lee for their achievements.

As you will see by new gate posts, some time in the near future, new gates will be fitted with combo locks, which will be locked at 8 pm and unlocked at 8 am. During the locked period to leave in an emergency just call and the number will be given. In the mean time we will be carrying on with normal pad locks.
Anyone wishing to look round the lake must do so before the gates are locked.
Please note that this is just to give added security for our anglers.

Congratulations to Ben for catching his PB 21lber and to Mark who is one of our regulars here at Rainbow.
The nights are now drawing in and the number of anglers is dwindling, so as the catch report reflects, not so many fish caught.
When you come down to Rainbow at this time of the year you may find the gates locked, unfortunatly this has to be done as the tracks around the lake are all grass and churn up easily during these wet conditions. This does not mean we are closed, it just means which ever peg you choose, it will mean a walk, so if you have a barrow you are more than welcome to use it.
Anyone interested in particals, we do a mix consisting of hemp, wheat, maze and maple peas ready prepared and in bags of appox 1 kg at the price of £1 per bag. As with our boillies these must be pre-ordered to save dissapointment.

Although not mentioned in the catch report, several stockies were caught between 7lb and 8lb 8oz so weight is increasing at a good rate. Also bream from several areas between 7lb and 10lb. As you can see from the catch report fishing not at its best, but as we all know August is not paticularly a good month. A lot of the fish appear to be in mid water or near the top and weather permitting dog biscuits maybe worth a try.
As some of you may have noticed peg 31 and others are closed on weekends to enable pegs 1 to 7 to benifit from far bank fishing.
As of the 1st September and for the rest of the comming month we will not be allowing anglers on the lake after 8pm unless prior arrangements have been made. This time will change on a monthly basis during the winter months. The reason being its very difficult to set up and position rigs where required in the dark and less disturbing for anglers with lines already out.
PLEASE NOTE WE ARE NOW SELLING COOKED MIXED PARTICALS AT £1 PER KILO, just buy on the bank or per-order by calling. This is in addition to our boillie and pellets sales already available through bank-side, or telephone orders.
