It was empty the week before so I didn\u2019t have any information about where the fish are and if they are there at all! It took me few hours to get everything sorted. I had a quick shower, talked to some new and old friends on the way to new peg and by evening I was set up on the platform on 21.<\/p>\n<p>I was told it could be tricky on that peg in December and it sure it was! I got some pointers where to fish from friends but most of fish I caught during that week were from new spots I\u2019d found while in the boat. What&rsquo;s more interesting was I caught 5 fish all from different spots and depths ranging from 1.5m\/5ft to 3.8m\/12ft.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest one was a 19kg\/41lb common and mirror. On the last night around 3am I had my final bite and first at night (perfect before a 2000km trip back home haha).

What&rsquo;s more interesting was I caught 5 fish all from different spots and depths ranging from 1.5m\/5ft to 3.8m\/12ft.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest one was a 19kg\/41lb common and mirror. On the last night around 3am I had my final bite and first at night (perfect before a 2000km trip back home haha). This rod was in the water 7 days and it was smallest fish of the session, probably around 15lb at its best!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6136\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6136\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6136\" src=\"http:\/\/79.170.44.101\/dynamitebaits.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/41lb-common.jpg\" alt=\"Rainbow Lake common\" width=\"1000\" height=\"612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dynamitebaits.com\/fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/03\/41lb-common.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/dynamitebaits.com\/fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/03\/41lb-common-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dynamitebaits.com\/fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/03\/41lb-common-768x470.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6136\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6136 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201000%20612%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Rainbow Lake common\" width=\"1000\" height=\"612\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201000%20612%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dynamitebaits.com\/fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/03\/41lb-common.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/dynamitebaits.com\/fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/03\/41lb-common-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dynamitebaits.com\/fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/03\/41lb-common-768x470.jpg 768w\" data-src=\"http:\/\/79.170.44.101\/dynamitebaits.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/41lb-common.jpg\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-6136\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">1 of 5 fish all from different spots<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In the second week I switched some rods to CompleX-T hookbaits and for sure my main weapon for this year will be Red-Amo\/CompleX-T combo!<\/p>\n<p>As always, I loved every single second of the trip and already can\u2019t wait for my 2 week session in the summer and winter!<\/p>\n<p>Tight lines!<\/p>\n<p><em>Thomas Cywka<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My last trip of 2016 was to amazing Rainbow Lake in France.
