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 …

Father and Son team, Peter and Lee Clarke, have been enjoying a return visit to Pochard Lodge on Cherry Mere this weekend and they have had a fabulous time. Given how well they did, I thought I would indulge them with giving them their own individual write up! They amazingly shared a catch of 20 Carp between them. Of these 15 were doubles between 13lb to just over 20lb. They caught from a variety of …

Barry and Joanne Ryland have decided to spent a week this year on Cherry Springs fishing from Kingfisher Lodge. Last time they stayed in Egret Lodge on Cherry Pool and landed over 700lb of fish. 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 …

We have just had an amazing couple of days on Cherry Lake and to do justice to the anglers and Carp concerned I will split this update into two. After a very slow start to the week, by which I mean no Carp caught, the fishing since mid-day Wednesday has certainly picked up. The star of the week has been Paul Sillence. Paul has been fishing in the Cottage swim for the last week and …

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 …

I thought it was time to dedicate one update to the smaller lakes here at Cherry Lakes. Cherry Springs has been a bit off form for a few weeks. For such a heavily stocked lake it has been much slower than I would have expected. Even with the lovely warm weather at the beginning of April (when the surface was ‘black’ with Carp), they did not switch on in their normal impressive way. I am …

Wayne Box has been staying this weekend in Heron Lodge on Cherry Lake. For the first 36 hours of his stay, other than a few Carp showing towards the far margin, the lake was fairly quiet and Wayne was reporting ‘static bobbins’. This was also the same for the other anglers on the lake. Saturday night was an amazing one for Wayne. At 23.00 on Saturday night he caught the first of an amazing brace …
