To hot for fishing ??

Fished the river between Belltown and Hallton.. very hot and shady spots were few and far between...

It was a panfish afternoon, only landed sunfish and rock bass, some of the bass were pretty good size like this one =



Hot --- but still better than a day at work = LOL... LOL

    Not too hot for the bass though. Caught this monster today between the storms.

    Doc doesn't live far from me. The rain managed to deftly avoid us today yet again. Nice bass. Big head on him.

    Ya I live in Butler our area got pounded today with very stong storms. We had major highway shutdown due to debris. There was a microburst and trees were snapped all over town.
    The humidity was nuts and after the rain the bugs were so active, making the bass more active I caught another one this evening not as nice I dont think but nice.

    Too hot for ice fishing for sure. Is it ever too anything for fishing though?

    i fished the casselman river way (which is quite far from the clarion, to say the least, and the water level was far lower than it was about a month ago. the fish were a bit tough to find, but willing to bite.

    Not sure if it's too hot for fishing but I know cutting logs in this heat is brutal...

    I'd say ballpark of 24" plus had two more around that size on frogs but I lost them on jumps. I'll head back sometime this weekend to try and get em.

    Make sure your hooks are extra sharp. You will get better penetration and might hold them on the jumps...
