Another late update. As I said last time I am struggling to keep up! Mind you I am not missing the rain. I had to smile at this classic British summer shot taken from within Egret Lodge on Cherry Pool. The Carp in Cherry Lake had a last go (I hope) at spawning about ten days ago. Ever since then the Carp seem to have been eating Carp eggs! A real high protein bait…..but tough …

I will confess to be struggling to keep up with my normal level of reports. For a variety of reasons I have been away from Cherry Lakes for the last two weeks. I will confess that I am really missing the place. I know from fishery manager Dave that the Carp have spawned again on Cherry Lake (and we hope this is now finished for this year) and some good fish have been coming out …

By Sunday lunchtime he had also landed a Common of 15lb and a Mirror of 22-08. The Carp were obviously feeding hard all round the lake but it was not clear what on. Andrew Lambe in Pochard Lodge spent a …

I will confess to be getting quite sick of all the rain and the up and down weather. Hot and sticky one minute and then heavy rain the next. No wonder the Caper are moody. Having said that they are also feeding when it suits them. As many experienced carp …
I will confess to be getting quite sick of all the rain and the up and down weather. Hot and sticky one minute and then heavy rain the next. No wonder the Caper are moody. Having said that they are also feeding when it suits them. As many experienced carp anglers will no doubt have noticed in the past, Carp and particularly the bigger females, can get moody and appear to go off the feed …

Of these at least 4 were twenties including his PB Ghost Common of 22-08 below. Geoff, who is clearly a very experienced angler and claims to be ‘old school’, fished hard up to several margin positions and caught steadily throughout his …

A good week across Cherry Lakes with some good catches. It is increasingly obvious though that the Carp are moody. The up and down weather is frustrating them as given half a chance they would rather ‘practice sex than feeding’! As far as I can see from the weather forecast the conditions for full on spawning is not yet on the horizon. I will keep you updated. We have a new member of the 30+ …

Craig and Mandy Brown recently spent a week on Kingfisher Lodge on Cherry Springs and they had a real result, landing 39 Carp,of which 27 were doubles, including three Carp over 20lb. Mandy did particularly well. Not only has she only taken up fishing over the last couple of years, she is also courageously battling Multiple Sclerosis, and I think she is an inspiration to us all. Mandy managed to smash her previous best of …
