Bait and Bait Deals

We have always prided ourselves on the attractiveness and condition of our Carp. We are also proud that we have over 100 different 30lb+ Carp across the complex. Many of these Carp have proved to be a Personal Best for literally hundreds of our guests.

In order to ensure the future growth, health and good condition of our Carp across the Cherry Lakes complex, we need to ensure that only the best quality boilies and feed are used. By better understanding how much feed is being introduced by anglers we are better placed to optimise the level of supplementary feed introduced by ourselves. As a result from 03 March 2025 the only boilies which can be used across the Cherry Lakes complex are those purchased from ourselves.

All anglers can be confident that these are not only top quality baits made from the best ingredients, and are proven fish catchers. Our Carp will be used to eating a lot of these boilies. Our on-going weekly feeding programme uses the bait and feed we sell. From the moment you start fishing you will be using a bait which our Carp recognise as a good food source.

Our fishmeal based boilies are highly digestible, contain a blend of fishmeal and other ingredients. They are great for growth and helping to ensure our Carp in good condition and healthy. These fish meal based baits would be our first choice boilies as soon as the water temperature exceeds 12C sometime in the Spring. Our new fishmeal range is led by our Cherry Red boilie. A second fishmeal will be added later in 2025.

Our milk protein/Bird food boilies are very soluble and easy for the Carp to digest throughout the year and would normally be our first choice during the cooler late Autumn to Spring period. Our popular existing Bio-fruit and Banoffee baits will be continued and re-named as Cherry Fruit and Cherry Banoffee and now at even better value!

Given we are requiring anglers to only use our boilies, we have moved to significantly reduce the price of our boilies and improve the value and attractiveness of our bait deals

We sell the frozen 15mm Cherry Lake Boilies at the prices below for an introductory period, in the following amounts (where available)

• 1KG bag - £15
• 2.5KG bag - £30
• 5KG bags - £45

We also sell pots of matching flavour Pop-ups and Wafters. Priced at £10 per pot.

Hempseed is the only particle which we supply individually. Anglers just like Carp love it! We source high quality large Hempseed which we prepare and cook onsite. If you want to use Hempseed you need to order it from us as we do not allow Hempseed from outside to be used at Cherry Lakes as we cannot be sure of its quality.

Similar to many other fisheries anglers are not allowed to use particles other than those supplied by ourselves. This includes shop bought particles in tins and plastic bottles. Sweetcorn is the only exception to this. All nuts are banned.

Hempseed is supplied in its natural cooked form or can be Chilli, Curry or Garlic flavoured. It is available in returnable buckets of 6kg (£30) or 11kg (£50).

We feed a mix of low oil (light colour) and normal (dark colour) Carp Pellets. These pellets provide Carp with a highly nutritious and balanced food source. Given these Carp pellets are highly digestible and breakdown easily in water, then I would say it is almost impossible to overfeed with them during the warmer months.

The great thing about pellets is that whilst they do breakdown in the water, their smell and taste lingers, which encourages the fish to keep returning to the area. Pellets mixed with our Hempseed and/or crushed and chopped boilies are an excellent feeding combination.

Our pellets are sold in returnable buckets of 7KG and are mixed both in terms of sizes (4,5mm, 6mm and 9mm) and colour (light and dark).

The 7kg bucket is £30

All of the lakes across Cherry Lakes are well stocked with Carp, many of them big. These Carp do respond to heavy baiting and the biggest catches nearly always come to anglers who have built a spot or two by baiting regularly. In order to encourage anglers to increase their level of feed we have developed two bait deal packages which are great value. We think these are the cheapest and best way of buying all the bait needed for your visit

We think the ‘Session Deal Pack’ is ideal for stays of up to 72 hours. The ‘Haulin Deal Pack’ is better for anglers staying for 4-7 days and those who want bait more heavily. These ‘deal packs’ are detailed below including pricing for an introductory period and must be ordered before your arrival
