Not much. I either come home around 2:00pm when it's just too hot or I don't go out until around 3pm and fish the evening.

A full day is just a no-no in this heat and with the risk of skin cancer!

Fishing wise, virtually all my stillwater and river fishing has been up in the water style. Today for instance I fished a small pit and was catching roach on wagg and mag set 6" deep. Yesterday the dace and roach were also cruising at half depth on the Thames. The heat certainly brings the fish up, I havent touched a feeder rod for weeks, it's all been on the float, which I much prefer.

Sensible is the key word Gaz. I don't sunbathe on holiday or at home and I fish in long sleeves and a Tilley Hat and use Factor 50 on the exposed bits.

I got burnt sun bathing in the garden today, don't know why i do it, i know it always hurts after, but, i never learn. Wife.s slapping after sun on me and muttering profanities and calling me Dumb, Stupid, Pratt etc etc ....... at least she's happy :D

Stay sensible and remember to cover up when the suns at it's highest.

I often think about how i will approach the waters i fished when the weather was really hot, i used to get up really early and be there for first light, but, i really believe that as a fisherman i was really lazy and never really put enough effort and thought in to what and how i would fish.

I wish i would be more productive with my short periods of fishing.
