But as the song goes …

Father and son duo Andy and Darrell Smith fished Pochard Lodge on Cherry Mere this week having a re-match of their competition which was won last year by Darrell.I think that the results prove that Cherry Mere, just like Cherry Springs, can be a prolific winter water if fished well even in difficult conditions. The result this year was very different with Andy ‘thrashing’ Darrell 11-1. Darrell did his best by pinning his Dad into …

Before this trip Jake’s PB was a little over 15lb, a figure which he …
