It is becoming ever more difficult for me to report accurately what has been caught and where. This is partially due to the fact that with 4 lakes and often a minimum of seven anglers fishing across the complex, it is mainly due to my memory beginning to fade with age! I frequently get requests for a more fuller update on the smaller lakes which I struggle to do….. it is easier with Cherry Lake …

We have just returned from Thailand (more in my next update) and were expecting to find it cold and slow at Cherry Lakes. instead we find it has been one of the warmest November’s on record. There has clearly been a lot of rain and wind judging by the lake level being up and no leaves left on the trees! All of the lakes have fished well whilst we have been away for the anglers …

Malcolm Quayle was like a ‘Cheshire Cat’ this morning with a smile beaming right across his face! Why? It was because he was telling me about his new PB Common of 26-08 as well as two other stunning 20lb+ Mirrors. He has also still got 24 hours to go! Cherry Lake has been very quiet, angler wise this week. An empty Lodge and Cottage along with a last minute cancellation due to work has meant …

Jimmy Manning was delighted with the start to his stay in Heron Lodge landing a 22-08 and this fabulous 27-08 Mirror below in the first 24 hours of his stay. Both came on small white pop-ups fished over small beds of bait.

I am very pleased to say that the Cherry Lake carp have at last begun to feed on anglers baits this weekend with eight Carp, including 7 over 20lb+, being landed by Sunday afternoon. The steady drop in water temperature seems to have triggered the Carp out of their ‘late summer holiday slumber’ and they are beginning to feed up for the coming winter. We have our fingers crossed that the next few weeks will …

Sam and Steve Dowie have enjoyed their family stay in the Cottage this week. Despite the obvious tough conditions of bright sunshine, very high air pressure and mist they have managed to land 6 Carp between them with son Sam beating Dad Steve 4-2. They used their obvious experience to fish very sensibly. By which I mean resting the swim during the day when all the Carp wanted to do was cruise (this no doubt …
