I recently started watching these from the beginning and realised what a pain in the backside it is the way Vimeo/Youtube sorts it's videos and I was forever searching for related episodes. So I thought I'd put together a list/links in the correct order.

Someone might even be kind enough to do a link.
For those that have not seen any of these they are well worth a few hours of your time.
Sorry nearly forgot there on Vimeo.com.

Stayed up well past me bed time, on a school night to watch all three last night. Well worth it though.
So Kevin, if your seeing this. Another steerling effort indeed.

How are they allowed to get away with fishing like that?? I also have seen on YouTube various other stunts on rainbow with people using poles so they can fish round snags etc. I know if I tried that on my local I would be chucked off, and rightly so these people are fishing for some of the biggest carp in europe. I hear people comment that the owner is a really nice bloke, not surprised they are saying that if they are allowed to get away with stunts like that.

Don't normally comment on here,but i'll make an exception on this post.I've fished rainbow quite a lot in the past 10 years or so,in fact long before it became as famous and popular as it is now.The lake has an area of around 110 acres,but has around 100 islands(possibly more than that,I've never counted) ranging from a few square feet to several acres in size.The lake was originally formed from a carbon mine which was allowed to flood,so the underwater topography is extreme to say the least..not in every swim,but as an example you could find a depth of say 3ft,then literally a boat length away,a depth of 15ft plus..so literally a sheer sided bar covered in stumps and old roots.This is commonplace all around the lake,with some swims more extreme than others,which necessitate the use of the boats for placing rigs and of course playing and landing fish.There are a large number of snags both above and below the surface,and these can be holding areas at certain times of the year.The fallen trees around the big islands tend to hold resident fish a lot of the time,and these can be fished very safely as you are fishing directly to the snag itself,with no angle involved.By fishing locked up,the takes nearly always eject the lead and it's a simple case of gently walking backwards and leading the fish into clear water,then playing them from the boat or bank.This rarely leads to a lost fish,and it's testament to the method used and the skill of the lads who fish there regularly that this is the case.A lot of the fishing at rainbow is actually open water fishing,on the tops or the slopes of the numerous bars in each swim.In all the nights I've spent at rainbow,i can hand on heart say that I've never seen anyone fishing directly into snags or placing rigs in dangerous areas.You need to understand that all the guys who fish there regularly tend to share information regarding terminal gear,rigs etc etc so everyone pretty much fishes in a similar fashion.Due to the snags and bars etc,strong gear is a necessity,but this in turn ensures that losses are kept to a minimum.Take a look through the pictures on the rainbow facebook page,and you'll see that pretty much ALL the fish have perfect mouths and unmarked bodies,due to the safe methods employed and care shown once landed.There are the odd one with a less than perfect mouth,but some get caught more than others..simple as that.As for the 'fishing round corners' comment...yes,this does go on in some swims due to the number of small islands present.By placing a pole on the corner of an island to run the line around into clear water behind it,i personally see no danger or problem with this.The fact that each swim is fished by two anglers,with a boat available just confounds my belief that this is in no way a dangerous method.The lads who fish rainbow tend to be experienced anglers who've fished a variety of venues,and understand how to fish the lake safely..this comes from experience,and if you were ever to fish there yourself you'd understand this very quickly.So much negative stuff has been written in the past by people who A) have never been there,and B) are not in posession of the facts regarding the layout of the lake and swims,that it leads to flippent comments and posts such as yours.There are no 'stunts' going on,it's simply experienced anglers using different methods to the norm to ensure they are fishing an extreme environment in the safest ways possible.You simply can't compare rainbow to your 'local',or indeed any other lake..it's completely unique in its topography and make up...I've fished all over France,Belgium,Holland,since i was 16 (i'm now 40) and i've never fished another venue like it.Hope this post explains a few things..cheers,Mike

No matter what you say fella it won't change my view on whether zigzagging your lines around islands is safe or not, no matter how you try and dress it up as, just because you use a boat on there doesn't garrentee a fish will be landed, as I definately know not all fish are landed, your be surprised what people do know about the place, before making flippant comments saying they don't. I'm not saying it is but it could come accross especially what people put on the net nowdays as catching at all costs.
