Cherry Lake
The spring stocks of carp are now beginning to show in abundance. Bags of upto 80lb per day are being catch by our regulars.
Cherry is home to a host of beautiful Ghost, Common and Mirror Carp (1lb-20lb), specimen Chub (up to 6lb), some huge Tench, and awesome still water Roach (up to 2.5lb).
The lake's depths average between 5ft and 7ft. The water has 25 well-spaced, comfortable wooden angling platforms. Cherry is very popular with clubs and pleasure anglers as this scenic water provides anglers with the opportunity to catch large bags of pristine carp using a variety of methods.

In the summer months, margin fishing can be spectacular. Using simple pole or long rod tactics over a bed of bait, carp can be caught in as little as 8 inches of water, next to the marginal reeds and trees.
In late autumn and winter, Chubb and pristine Roach can be caught in great numbers using worms, maggots or caster, with a maggot or groundbait feeder working particularly well for late season Carp.
Cherry Lake Top Tip
Those fishing with maggot or small pellet are catching carp of all sizes.
In certain areas using a long pole with pellet or worm is also working well.
