Alex Cox and Terry Borghys have just spent a week’s holiday in Kingfisher Lodge on Cherry Springs. As you can see below they had a great week. Alex had said to me before he came that as he had not had a chance to go fishing much over the last year ‘he wanted to get his rod bent’. Normally he would have booked a lake like Cherry Lake, but as a holiday was in order …

Paul and Anne Sparks are some of our most regular guests at Cherry Lakes and chose to stay in Grebe Lodge this week. Although Cherry Lake was disappointingly slow, which was surprising to me given two days of good weather and the Carp showing in the upper layers of the water for the first time this year, Paul did well to land three Carp, all above twenty pounds, including a new lake record for a …

Cherry Lakes were reasonably productive last week, which is quite a contrast to this weekend when the heavy hailstones showers and over night frosts combined to cool the water did nothing to encourage the Carp to feed. Andy Bolt last week led the way with 7 Carp from Osprey Lodge on Cherry Lake including four over twenty pounds. The biggest was a 27lb Mirror. He also caught this attractive 18lb heavily scaled Mirror below. Andy …

A slower weekend on Cherry Lake with four new to the lake guests trying to get to grips with Cherry Lake for the first time. The ‘stars’ of the weekend have been the Greeenwood father and son team fishing in the Cottage. Dad Dean Greenwood was first off the mark with this ‘leathery looking’ Mirror of 23lb. 13 year old son Chay did very well to catch a 21lb Mirror on Saturday morning which smashed …

I have started a new job which means that I will be away from Cherry Lakes more than I would like. It also means that I miss out on some of the action and some of the detail, as well as being slower to do these updates. This week Scott …
I have started a new job which means that I will be away from Cherry Lakes more than I would like. It also means that I miss out on some of the action and some of the detail, as well as being slower to do these updates. This week Scott Geraghty was fishing Cherry Lake for the first time in Osprey Lodge. I was almost as delighted as he was, when he landed the Peach …

A good Easter weekend despite some adventurous weather. Storm ‘Katie’ was well worth naming! Our guests were relieved to be in their ‘ultimate Winter Bivvies’ (Lodges!). Rob Carter fishing from Pochard Lodge on Cherry Mere with Daniel Roberts, shared a fabulous catch of 15 Carp and they have already booked to come back next Easter! Fishing with boilies over pellets they caught steadily throughout their stay. All of the Carp were doubles including several 18lb+ …

We took advantage of the low booking levels and horrible fishing weather, to escape on a short holiday to the Canaries last week, hence the absence of my normal updates. We are now, hopefully, ready for the busier period ahead at Cherry Lakes. Overall, the fishing across the Cherry Lakes complex was good throughout the winter. We had very few blank sessions with some anglers having very good ones. We have had Carp to 26lb …

A slow week at Cherry Lakes, which in part was due to us not being very busy. It was also due to difficult conditions. The week started cold, with frosts and even some snow (see the last post for a picture of Andy Smith holding a Cherry Mere Carp in the snow) and has finished with the first real period of high pressure for months (cool, bright, frosty and foggy). 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 …
