With respect,all I've done is stated a few facts..not rumours,not gossip or hearsay! At no point did i condone 'zig zagging' lines through islands as you put it.Simply running a line around a pole on the corner of an island to prevent the line catching or snagging on a root or stump is just a necessity at rainbow..most,if not ALL the rainbow anglers are extremely conscienscious regarding rigs,bait placement and care of the fish.The fact that you see that method as unsafe is entirely subjective,and i respect your opinion.You may cast to an overhanging tree on an island at your local lake..i could view this as unsafe..if you were fishing too tightly to it or using poor indication..again that would be my opinion,and subjective! All I'm saying is that the ratio of fish lost to fish landed at rainbow is incredibly low,due to experienced anglers using sometimes slightly unorthodox methods to extract fish from a very snaggy and extreme environment.Pascale the owner has developed a good understanding of the fishing on his lake( he's a trout angler) and both his sons are carp anglers,so they are fully aware of how the lake is fished.The fact that Pascale leaves the anglers alone during their stay is testament to the level of trust he puts in the visiting anglers to treat the fish with respect and fish safely.Like i said,I'm not 'dressing up' anything,just telling it how it is and trying to give a little insight into the extreme nature of the fishing.I fish a 55 acre water near my home which is entirely snag free but can be weedy..to be honest i see far more bad angling on there (crack offs,trailers,poorly tied rigs etc etc) than i've witnessed in over 100 nights at rainbow,despite all the information available to anglers how to fish safely.

I went straight to the koi nerding blog, Quite an eye opener the filtration systems boiler, some serious set ups.
Interesting points raised about the poles/hooks, aid fishing around snags corners etc.
Certainly makes you want too wet a line.

Great vid, great to watch and honest. Very informative and love the other vids too. Love to see how other people get there buzz from fishing and the excitement we all have in common when it comes to getting a run even when we lose fish and go through the lows.
Comes across as a genuine bloke who loves his fishing. Cant wait to see more, keep up the good work

very enjoyable videos that show the highs and lows of a long fishing session - I found myself laughing out loud a few times as well as being genuinely gutted for him too.
great soundtracks as well.

Professional video directors/makers please take note. No plugs, no bigging up, just sheer enjoyment and enchantment. Thankyou Kevin
