Ricketts mere(utiling):cemex

LOCATION: Ulting Lane, Ulting, Essex. CM9 6QB

SIZE: Lake: 3 acres. River: 800 metres.



Another recent fishery for CEMEX which comprises a section of the River Chelmer and a three-acre farm lake set in the Essex countryside.



This has had a stocking program undertaken by our fishery staff. A 100 of CEMEX’s own stunning Sutton strain carp have been introduced each with a weight of around 10lb. In the last months of 2008 more specimens were added up to 20lb also tench and true crucians. These fish are now packing on the weight in this very rich water.



Previously carp have reached 30lb+ in this water so we have every hope that this will happen again. Taking into account the amount of natural food in this lake, hopefully it shouldn’t be too long!



The river is a narrow, fast-flowing, overgrown section with a weir at its head and a junction with the canal further down the stretch. This confluence of waters enables the two to flow together and create a fantastic habitat for a wide and diverse number of river species.



This is an under utilised extra string to the anglers bow, all species populate this small backwater and a general angler could have a very large bag of mixed species on the right days.



All of the species in the canal find their way into this secluded fishery including carp, bream and chub, not forgetting the good shoals of silverfish.
