Newsletter for June 2010
Spawning continued during June with the fine weather but the catch rate was still good with over 50 fish coming out 10 of them being 20lb plus. The best tacticts seem to be tipping off the boillie with a plastic corn or piece of trimmed pop-up. The swims with the most weed seem to be holding the fish regardless of wind direction. Some of the heavier weed in some swims have been removed and this is an ongoing process during quieter periods.

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.

News Letter for May 2010

News Letter for May
May was another good month for 20lb plus fish with another 12 coming to the scales, the biggest one being 23lb 8oz. A good number of back-up fish of 17lb and above as well with a total of 47 fish being landed, although a shortfall of what we prodected, the quality is very good.
One or two of the baits being the most successful is boillie with plastic corn or white pop-ups, or white/yellow pop-ups on their own. Rainbow Lake boillies have done very well, along with Fusion and Pro-active pineapple. On an evening after a hot day, dog biscuits are well worth a try.
On the last weekend in May carp started spawning and had another go the weekend after, so hopefully they now have got it all done and dusted for the year.

Not as many fish produced in this report as expected, but still a reasonable amount of quality fish. Hopefully this will improve once we loose these north-easterly winds, then we will get back to the usual head of 60 to 80 fish caught in May. This is going by our past records.

News Letter for April 2010

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.
