"Sinah Warren was so low you could see all the underwater structures - worst he's seen in years."
"Oddly though, the fishing for me has been quite magnificent, a couple of mid thirties and upper twenties in lakes that don't hold many big fish!"
Good to hear, well done!

Agreed.
The pond I was on yesterday is down at least 3 foot and I was chatting to a lad there who said Sinah Warren was so low you could see all the underwater structures - worst he's seen in years.
Another lake I fish has totally shut down, river fed but the river is so low it's not getting in through the inlet 😞
Sadly the rain down here doesn't look as biblical as it was going to be, but I'd say anything will help for sure.

"Fingers crossed for rain with this big storm rolling in, we certainly need some"
We're due some rain this week by the looks of it. Hopefully it's enough to do some good.
My lake is down by what must be close to a couple of feet now.
It's desperately needed.

That makes sense.
Sorry to hear about your allotment.
It's sad after you've put in all that time & effort.
I wonder if there'll be a shortage this Halloween?

The trees are in "stress" due to lack of rain, thus will shed their leafs to reduce evapotraspiration. There was a news item about it recently on tv, also noted that autumn fruit was early as was the pumpkin season. My allotment looks like autumn already with my pumpkin plants almost dead l😒😒😒

Craziness!
Is it partly due to the lack of rain do you think? or overnight temps or both?

a shot from the weekend, looking very autumnal

Lad turned up next to me in shorts and flip flops. He dumped all his stuff and sat in his car for an hour 😂😂.
I'm glad I bought my big coat tbh, sat in the shade still and I've only just taken it off.
Fingers crossed for rain with this big storm rolling in, we certainly need some

You could well be onto something there.
I was fishing yesterday & it felt very autumnal in the wind.
While pulling up the hood of my thick hoodie & sipping on a hot flask of coffee, I almost felt sorry for the lad opposite shivering in shorts & t-shirt, almost..

Closed my windows a little earlier than usual in Surrey last night. Definitely seems a little chillier lately.
Im off for a few days next week and the forecast is rain and thunder!

Down to 6 degrees here last night. Absolutely crazy for this time of year.
I've been thinking for a while that the seasons have shifted with August being the first month of autumn. Based on last night I think I might be right
