Father and Son team, Peter and Lee Clarke, have been enjoying a return visit to Pochard Lodge on Cherry Mere this weekend and they have had a fabulous time. Given how well they did, I thought I would indulge them with giving them their own individual write up! They amazingly shared a catch of 20 Carp between them. Of these 15 were doubles between 13lb to just over 20lb. They caught from a variety of …

Barry and Joanne Ryland have decided to spent a week this year on Cherry Springs fishing from Kingfisher Lodge. Last time they stayed in Egret Lodge on Cherry Pool and landed over 700lb of fish. In fact they caught so many they left exhausted and the need of a rest! Their week has started slowly on Cherry Springs. The lake has been frustratingly moody this year, with some good fishing spells broken up by some …

Chris Lawson has been staying in Grebe Lodge on Cherry Lake for the first time this week with his wife Rachel. In a normal week his return of 5 Carp including a PB Mirror of 30-04 would have been enough for him to be top rod, but he was beaten by Paul Silence (see previous post). So to be fair to both Chris and Ken O Connor who fished in Heron Lodge I have split …

We have just had an amazing couple of days on Cherry Lake and to do justice to the anglers and Carp concerned I will split this update into two. After a very slow start to the week, by which I mean no Carp caught, the fishing since mid-day Wednesday has certainly picked up. The star of the week has been Paul Sillence. Paul has been fishing in the Cottage swim for the last week and …

I thought it was time to dedicate one update to the smaller lakes here at Cherry Lakes. Cherry Springs has been a bit off form for a few weeks. For such a heavily stocked lake it has been much slower than I would have expected. Even with the lovely warm …

I thought it was time to dedicate one update to the smaller lakes here at Cherry Lakes. Cherry Springs has been a bit off form for a few weeks. For such a heavily stocked lake it has been much slower than I would have expected. Even with the lovely warm weather at the beginning of April (when the surface was ‘black’ with Carp), they did not switch on in their normal impressive way. I am …

Wayne Box has been staying this weekend in Heron Lodge on Cherry Lake. For the first 36 hours of his stay, other than a few Carp showing towards the far margin, the lake was fairly quiet and Wayne was reporting ‘static bobbins’. This was also the same for the other anglers on the lake. Saturday night was an amazing one for Wayne. At 23.00 on Saturday night he caught the first of an amazing brace …

We were delighted to see both of these Carp in good condition and obviously feeding well as they build up towards spawning, …

The fishing this week slowed up a little with the high pressure and cold nights putting the Carp off. We have also been quiet, with only two anglers fishing on Cherry Lake. Les Spiers has been fishing in the Cottage swim and has worked very hard. Plenty of Carp could be seen sunning themselves but other than one missed take the first 72 hours produced very little. Although the pressure did not drop much today, …

As well as the James Hine party on Cherry Lake this week, we had two younger anglers taking advantage of the Easter holidays to visit Cherry Lakes and show us older people how it should be done! James Medati is a very keen young Carp angler who seemed much older than his 15 years. Quite rightly he had persuaded his non-fishing parents that ‘holidays abroad in the sun are boring’ and that they should take …
