Our good friends Gary and Rob Owen have been staying with us this week and enjoying themselves on Cherry Springs.

They followed Jay Bowyers into Kingfisher Lodge who reported a return of eight Carp last weekend including this …

Ryan Jenkins is a regular winter guest at Cherry Lakes and up to this trip (his third) he had never blanked before. He always targets the first week in March and previously has done well with multiple captures to 29-15 in 2017 and 26-00 in 2016 (pictured below). This year …
Ryan Jenkins is a regular winter guest at Cherry Lakes and up to this trip (his third) he had never blanked before. He always targets the first week in March and previously has done well with multiple captures to 29-15 in 2017 and 26-00 in 2016 (pictured below). This year he realised he was very much up against it as he arrived just as the ‘beast from the east’ left! Although the day temperatures have …

With the Siberian weather we have been having thee is no real fishing activity to talk about. So rather than writing about the fishing, I thought I would report on Cherry Lakes first Daffodil of the new year (but it does not look like a double!). This particular Daffodil came from the north bank on Cherry Springs! I am pleased to say that as I write this on Sunday afternoon the sun is shinning, it …

March 1st is the first day of meteorological Spring today and Cherry Lake does not look like it as you can see from the picture below! Given how cold the week has been with the ‘Beast from the East’, I am happy to report that all lakes are largely ice free. I am not sure why given it was minus 7C when I got home last night? The aerators have done a great job. The …

Until Gary Owens arrived for a quick stay on Cherry Pool this weekend the only thing I have been seeing around the place is ‘brass monkeys!’ The strong East wind coupled with our aerators have kept all the lakes ice free so far. Normally the aerators keep the lakes at least partially free of ice down to about minus 4C when it is calm. It will be interesting to see how they cope with this …

I mentioned in my update yesterday that a team from Trakker products attempted to photo shoot the new range of Trakker Products at Cherry Lakes last week. They were a little unlucky in that the lakes were partially frozen on their arrival followed by two days of freezing monsoon like weather. In fact the light was so bad, they are returning to finish the photo shoot later this month. Whilst they were here they did …

At this time of the year, even though it is cold, the Carp will feed if they can. The great thing about our smaller waters, is that you are never too far from the Carp. So when the Carp feed you have a chance. On the bigger Cherry Lake you have to be more precise in location as well as having your bait in the water at the right time. The smaller lakes around the …

Apologies for the radio silence throughout most of January. Judith and I decided to escape the heavy programme of upgrades and maintenance across Cherry Lakes to take an extended holiday. As many regular followers of this website know, I always try to ‘squeeze in’ a few days fishing into these trips. This year’s visit to Thailand has been no exception. The net result of my ‘extensive negotiations’ was three single day trips to Top Cats, …

Happy New Year to everyone who follows these updates. We hope 2018 is a good year for you. We are very quiet at Cherry Lakes at the moment. This is the time when we try to get some of the more fundamental maintenance work completed. For example this January we are replacing all the shower unit on the original four Lodges as well as spring-cleaning as normal. We are also installing a new kitchen into …
