Mike Booth said he had a magic holiday when he stayed in Grebe Lodge for a week. Unlike last time when Mike blanked, he really got amongst the Cherry lake Carp this time when he landed 13 Carp to 28-04. He beat his PB at least 4 times last week (he had 4 twenties including the 25-08 Common below). Mike has unsurprisingly re-booked the same week for next year. I have copied Mike’s opening line …

Cherry Lake certainly sprung back into some form this weekend with all anglers landing Carp with a number also lost at the net. Simon Fox and his son Billy, who I have nick-named ‘Billy the Kid’ as he looks so young, fished together in the Cottage swim, whilst his two Sisters and his Mum watched DVD’s when not in the hot-tub. Simon landed three Carp including the biggest of the weekend, a 29-06 Mirror. Unfortunately …

A slow week across all the lakes this week which has got me scratching my head a little! I can only put it down to the sharp drop in temperatures this week, particularly Monday and Tuesday and overnight since then. The temperature on Cherry Lake was only 63F which is about 7F down on last week. Indeed Cherry Lake was ‘steaming’ when I walked around at 05.30 this morning. ‘Steaming’ is itself a sign of …

Cherry Lake almost always does well in low pressure and rain, particularly if we have some good anglers fishing at the time, and so it proved to be the case again this weekend. Unusually all three Cherry Lake Lodges were booked by a group of friends, the excuse being Paul Shakespeare’s birthday. Paul fished in Grebe Lodge and enjoyed landing several Carp including a 26-00 and a 21-00 Ghostie. Very nice birthday presents indeed! Paul’s …

We do not keep lists of people wanting news of a cancellation, as it is fairer to advertise them on our website and Facebook pages on a first come first served basis. We have just received a cancellation for Grebe Lodge for the weekend of 21-24 August. We …

I am delighted to report that two PB’s to two new guests this week on Cherry Lake and 4 photos to share with you below. The fishing has been rather sluggish and typical of this time of the year. A successful trip is all about taking the odd chance as it comes along. Dropping your leads on the take is critical otherwise the combination of the weed (which builds up on the lead) and the …

The key to this is good fish handling as well as keeping them well fed. this is why we insist on the …
