As my last blog entry stated, “we had some serious rain” that night, but much to my surprise the Frome showed absolutely no change, in fact I fished with a friend for a couple of hours in bright hot sunshine on the Friday afternoon and between us we managed to rise a few small ones, as always it was good to get out, (with something other than a mower).
I absolutely love hot tropical weather, but I have to say we have now had three days of the most fabulous “sitting on the beach weather”, where we have struggled a little to keep going, working in the water in waders, completely sheltered from any breeze (on a lovely project in North Dorset)!
All our work takes us to some fantastic places, today we found a little shade to eat our lunch, which we managed to share with one or two Chub…..
Our risk assessment for this job very seriously includes all sun and heat factors….Seriously!
Long may our summer last, but could we have a little more rain (at night) to top up our rivers.
Check out the FP&WDFA website and get joined up to help us protect and improve our local rivers.
And just to prove the sun has not got to me, I saw a huge fish, 30-50lbs shaped like a King Mackerel jump three times off the Chesil beach last Sunday!
I glanced at Lib’s own outdoor thermo meter and I know it is in the sun, but it is nearly 8pm and it reads 34 degrees C we had better take a cool box and a large fan to work tomorrow!
