Newsletter 19 April to 17 May 2012
The lake is still fishing well, various methods taking fish, including bottom baits, dog biscuits, chods and zig rigs. If using zigs you may wish to leave them out day and night. Dog biscuits best after tea weather permitting. Chods and rigs presenting baits on the bottom can take fish at anytime.
Tom from Beverley fished a 48hour session in Peg 4 and had 6 fish including 4 x 20lbers all taken off the bottom. Other anglers have enjoyed multiple catches on zigs and mixers.

Although it has been a month since we updated the web site, as you can see by the catch report the lake is fishing better than normal.
With a good variety of pegs producing on various methods.
Baits fished hard on the bottom, chod rigs, zig rigs and weather permitting floating baits have all taken fish in the last month. Rainbow Lake bait doig some of the damage.
Just like to apologise for the site being down last week, but our web guys needed to clean the site as it had been hacked.
Just a reminder to pre-order you baits when you can, as it does help us as we do not have freezer facilities on site.

News report for Jan to 15 March 2012
A promising start to the new year as the catch report shows. The fish are now coming out to play in the shallower pegs with a 25lb 10oz coming out of Peg 1, well done Gally, who got his 25lb hoody. Also not forgetting 5 other 20lbers from various pegs on the lake with other good upper doubles caught.
The odd days when it has been warmer a few fish have been showing on the top, but nothing being taken on floaters yet, but at the moment any peg could produce.
New for 2012 we are now stocking a large variety of end tackle and if you have any tackle for sale just let John know and maybe a deal can be struck.
Breakfasts are still doing well and we have managed to keep the price down to £3.50.

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.
