Cherry Lake has been fishing steadily since the spawning of two weeks ago. The evidence of the last few weeks suggests to me that most of the Carp did spawn successfully but a minority of fish still have yet to spawn. The biggest Carp from Cherry Lake recently has been this fabulous 28lb Ghost Mirror below to Cory Hicks. As you can see, this female fish, is still carrying spawn. Hopefully we will get some …

Fishing couple Marc and Leigh-Ann Campion have been on a return holiday this week and have been staying in Pochard Lodge on Cherry Mere along with Leigh-Ann’s mother and Brother. They have just left having enjoyed a fabulous week’s fishing. Marc and Leigh-Ann kept switching methods during the week to very much keep their bite indicators ‘moving’. In quieter times, they would fish the ‘Method’ or Sweetcorn. This enabled them to pick up some of …

The Cherry Lakes Carp this week, in tandem I imagine with a lot of other lakes around the country, have been busily ‘at it’ this week. The hot weather of the last few days along with high over-night temperatures have produced the consistent water temperatures needed at this time of the year for the Carp to spawn. Given that I am frequently asked about whether the Carp have spawned or not, I thought I would …

A good week across Cherry Lakes as the Carp have got ready for spawning. A total of 20 Carp were landed to 29lb were caught by the Cherry Lake anglers. Top rod on Cherry Lake this week was Paul Parker in Osprey Lodge who landed 7 Carp in just over two days before deciding to reel in when the Carp started spawning on Thursday morning. Boilies over pellets if I remember correctly proved to be …

A good week and weekend across the Cherry Lakes complex with most anglers catching. On the smaller lakes, Clive King’s 5 Crucians to 3lb from Egret Lodge on Cherry Pool was the most notable for me. Cherry Lake has fished well for the last couple of weeks, with small pop-ups and boilies increasingly doing the business. Pride of place goes to Mike Harris who spent the weekend here at the end of a period of …

Of these 15 were doubles between 13lb to just over 20lb. They caught from a variety of …

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 …
