Bob Gardiner had this week’s biggest Carp from Cherry Lake at 25-08 from Grebe Lodge, see his picture below. With just a few other Carp caught including several small ones on Maggots, Cherry Lake has continued to be challenging. The on-going high pressure, clear nights and full moon has not been helping.
