Love swim one. 13 ft by the duck hut and could land all my fish from the bank. Plus a short walk for a shower. Lovely place, great video.❤
Yes it's a nice swim for different reasons, always found they were near the duck hide later in the year but for spring they were always in the bays
Loved watching you and Joan fishing rainbow 🌈 Steve😀 it's definitely on my bucket list! It's the most prehistoric lake I've ever seen a different level of carpyness which blows my mind Steve! Scenery and fish😯 thank you Danboy..
Cheers DanBoy it's certainly a different type of fishing but very exciting for sure!!!!
Lovely vid Steve...always enjoy your videos 👏🏻great seeing you & Joan living life to the very best 🎣

Great video Steve , loved it
thanks Mark
Great watch Steve ,Must be 15 yrs ago that i met you in Swim 18 and its one of my favourite memories sharing a cuppa with you
Good times 🙂👍👍👍
Its nice to see all the different top names from all the different company's, young and old (no offence) all together having a wonderful time. Seen all your videos but the Rainbow ones top them all.
Yes people often think there’s a lot of competition between companies but as anglers we all get on well
Another wicked video Steve keep them coming ❤
cheers Danny👍👍
Rainbow is such an intricate complex lake bars ,snags bays etc and the reality is if you get ot right on the day/week an absolute monster is a not just a dream but a reality! I remember you and crowey on here and what a lake this is with these big old carp swimming around waiting to be caught🐳👍good sportsmanship to bart for telling you about those fish in the bay👌top angling steve and well done to joan too 👌👌👍👍
Yes it was good of Bart for sure but that is the way we all were really - all friends together
Hi Steve.ive just started on a tricky venue and no nothing much about what bait to use etc .would you use a bait you are confident in rather than concern yourself with what others are using ?regards David
@@daveshaw5293 I always just do my own thing and don't worry too much about what other people are doing. I've always done better that way and always use the baits that I'm confident with - a good bait is always a good bait 🙂👍
@@stevebriggs4638 thanks Steve that's much appreciated and I'm going to keep the faith in myself and hopefully get amongst the fish on there !🤞👍👍
Great vid, beautifully filmed. Good angling Steve. Interesting they don't notice the steep line up to the bottle. I guess it's similar to float fishing really and that does plenty of carp. If everyone's doin it you'd think they'd wise up but needs must and all that. Tight lines from the banks of a large northern england canal / river system.
Thanks very much!!! Yes the fish simply don't worry that much about the lines going straight up, I suppose in many cases people have markers near to baited areas with lines going vertical too. If anything it helps to keep more of the lines out of the way, it was quite noticeable that when people first started using bottles and keeping lines on the surface, the fish would move through swims far easier and overall it seems to be a better way of fishing - at least on Rainbow.
@@stevebriggs4638 yes u right it's gotta be loads better than a long tight line thru swim as we'd often do whilst fishing near snags.
Great video steve as always 👍🏻
Cheers 👍👍🍻🍻
The Great Steve🎉🎉
thank you 😃
Great watch Steve. 👍🏻
cheers
Top rod mate 👏👏👏🎣🎣🎣🎣🐟
thanks for watching
Thank you uncle Steve ❤ mind and soul food
glad you liked it
Nice One Steve 👌
cheers
Brilliant Steve - really enjoyed that. Quick one mate, do you put a polarised lense on your drone camera. All the best.
Thanks glad you liked it. No I've not got a polariser for the drone I've just tried to position it to give the best view but I think it's something I'll be getting in the future.
On every Carpanglers Bucketlist ☝️
Yes it seems that way I’m just pleased I was there 10 / 15 years ago
As always Mr Briggs , addictive evocative viewing . Great team work by Joan even if you did whack her on the head 😅
Ha ha you noticed 😝 she didn't mind too much.
👍👍👍
👍
great vid. amazing place. what are the new rules steve? i am going again in june, peg19
keep it up.
all the best👍
only boilies allowed now no other bait, life jacket compulsory every time in boat, smoking only allowed in bivvy or car, battery charging only in daytime and others that I can't remember now
Hi Steve that is a lovely video, thank you! I am a angler who lives very close by. Before the fires I was fishing Bousquey and it is still closed. Did you find any information on how it is?
No I only heard the same as you. I have a friend who lives that way and has fished there but he said it was just closed for now
Thanks Steve, I dream of fishing it again- for me it’s the most beautiful lake I’ve ever seen.
Good video. Did I miss it or where is this lake?
Rainbow is in south west France just below Bordeaux
Nice one Steve!
I was wondering, why there's less fish now? Do they dont restock the lake or what?
No they have never restocked since they first took the lake over, they always believe that natural spawning would keep the numbers up
@@stevebriggs4638 oh ok, that would be a good theory if nobody have fished there. Fish get hurt in that process no matter how much we care about them. But anyway looks like dream location to me. Maybe one day 😁
Steve those hookbaits are not 35 mm 40mm are smaller😅
Hello Steve...thanks for the video...can you please explain a bit the "set up" with the plastic bottle?
I know is for fishing in snags bit I'm not familiar with it..
Thank you in advance...
Yes it keeps the line up on the surface so that if you are fishing over snags and shallow bars it helps keep the line free. The line just goes straight up to the bottle from the lead (The bottle just has a back lead clip attached to the cap) and then to the rod. The fish actually seem to like the line being out of their way too
@stevebriggs4638 thank you...if you fish long distance with a bait boat this set up is still efficient or you need a boat to land the fish?
There's a stopper on the line for the bottle or just running freely on the line?
@@TiberiusWorld It's really a set up that I've only used at this lake. It would be difficult without a boat as you'd just be pulling fish back to the snags that you're fishing over, normally I would follow the fish out with the boat but in the video I was pulling fish in to a safe area before going in the boat. Yes in the video it shows the pole elastic back stop as I drop the rig set about 1 meter over depth
@stevebriggs4638 thank you 👍
Nice one Steve. All those snags would seriously give me stress. What reels do you use btw?
Yes it can be tense fishing but all part of the fun!! The reels are Nash LR 8000's
@@stevebriggs4638 thanks Steve, I am going to look into those reels since I enjoyed the smooth clicking sound of the drag in your video.
Any plans for another Cassien trip Steve? Is it only worth going in the summer now due to the daylight hours in winter (no nights etc)?
We’ve talked a lot about Cassien and going back but the day fishing does make it difficult, we loved the winter trips but short days and extra gear needed make it a tough one, there are so many good places out there that allow night fishing that they make it more difficult to go back to Cassien
@@stevebriggs4638 Ah what a shame. I hear the catfish are causing problems and with no Gerrard to do his restocking programs it sounds like a bit of a non starter, sadly. I only went once in a round 2003(?) it was the week before Joan had her real biggie and we fished from the swim near Gerrards.. I only had a low double common, but it was a Cassien carp and I fell in love with the place, but that was just before it all started changing with the night fishing bans etc. It's a shame somebody can't get it back to how it was but that's a huge undertaking especially with Anglo/French relationships etc. Thanks for the response Steve. All the best on your next adventures!!
@@mikemccaine4229 Yes it all changed when Gerard retired as he helped a lot with carp fishing there - although he also stocked the catfish which are a real menace now!!! the new head of the federation is not so carp angler friendly although there has been a recent stocking of new carp. I hope one day things can change but I doubt it will ever be how it was. It was 2002 when Joan had her fish.
@@stevebriggs4638 Ah yes 2002 it was definitely the week after me and my pal went because you mentioned it at The Carp Show at Five Lakes and we looked at each other, me and my fishing pal, with that expression of "one week out" haha. All the best Steve. You had the "Golden Years" on that lake so all is not bad!!
I hate to sound negative and ho against the concensus of opinions here but Rainbow lake hasn't and never will be a place I wish to fish.
Having said that it is a remarkable place with some lovely fish and fairplay to those that love this sort of fishing, horses for courses.
Yes there’s lots of people have told me that they’d never fish rainbow for different reasons like you say horses for courses - mind you lots of people say they wouldn't like Rainbow and then once they are there they can't get back there again fast enough!!
Is the fish you had sep 2010 known as 1000 scale ?
Yes that was 1000 scale well spawned out
Just sling him the rod mate
looks a lovely lake. just can't get behind this boating your rigs out crap. having the ability to hit your mark is the only skillful part to modern fishing and now people cba to do that
If you're a uk angler who's only fished uk lakes then that's the way people think but there's a whole different world out there believe me
