My local club lakes have taken the decision to close there waters from Sunday through to Thursday next week due to the extreme temperatures we are apparently going to experience at the beginning of next week. Not quite sure whether it's to protect the stock or Anglers willing to tough it out in such conditions. Any other waters taking these measures that we no of?

My club D.D.A.P.S doing the same. Let's face it the fish will be holed up in the weed beds anyway and virtually uncatchable. Safely at least.

Don't see how this is anything but a good thing, for both fish and the anglers

It can be bad enough inside a bivvy in 30 degrees, let alone adding another 10 on top. Think there would be a few not clued up enough to keep them selves well enough hydrated.

As for the fish, they will still be there the week after

Caught carp in a park lake in Melbourne (Australia) in 45+ degrees. However, they're probably acclimatised 😂

I'm on the bank next week, I understand it's unlikely they'll be on the feed but hopefully have the pick of the lake with it being so hot 👌🏻

Im sorry but when did britain become so soft !!!
i live in Spain and i obviously watch uk tv news and all i see is this super duper temperature life changing / social impact / and anything else that sounds dramatic happening its called summer FFS it happens every year it gets hot for a few days then you have thunderstorms and it cools down
we have been above 35C now for 8 days now and i live onthe coastal strip so its slightly cooler ...where i fish 120km's inland its been 42C and yes we still fish in it and its fishing its nuts off at the moment so if we dont have a problem your slight rise in temps for a couple of days should only be a slight inconvenience not the whole of the UK shutting down because of this

'It's called summer and it happens every year'....

Not in the North West mate. If we get above 15 degrees for an afternoon in July then we're happy 😊

Soft i totally agree it's ridiculous the fuss made this morning on tv they said if your tempted to go in for a swim avoid canals in cast there are shopping trolleys under the water in case you land on one have they forgotten about 76 that was hot for 3 months not 2 days there treating people like we are children or idiots
It's all I have heard all week on tv a radio is about this heat ,
When you look at it it's a few hours a day so what

I love the sun and enjoyed the summer of 76 but the idea that everyone was tougher then and it had no health effects has rose tinted memories https://jech.bmj.com/content/56/5/367

Should be quite pleasant down here sat beside a lake under the shade of a brolly with a gentle breeze to keep you cool. Definitely wouldn't sit there in a large enclosed oven though. ( sorry bivvy)
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
