It's hot, it's humid! Is summer your favourite season??

[Guest Chris Plumb]

I watched a grass snake stalk a mouse right by my feet yesterday evening (didn't know they eat them - do they?). The mouse was making foray's to pick up dropped hemp and the snake slowly edged toward the zone where the hemp was. I watched enthralled - thinking thinking 'next time the snake's gonna strike!!' Didn't get to see what happened as I had a bite and the snake dived into the river and headed off to the other bank!!

 

Ahh!! - Summer evenings - can't beat them!!!

For me its the autumn with the leaves turning to glorious golds on the trees the migration flights of the birds to watch, the changing moods of the shortening days and the chub and barbel coming into their prime and the roach and grayling not far behind.

As B.V. put it Autumn is the Golden Season

I don't have a favorite season

 

I just love being on the bank any time of the year

Spring for the fresh greens and birdsong, autumn for the reds, golds and browns.

 

On the Teme last week, I watched a mink chow-down on a mole just a couple of yards away. Not a pretty sight, but certainly nature in the raw! Circling buzzards, 'laughing' green woodpeckers and irridescent blue dragonflies quartering the river all made for an interesting couple of days while the barbel were none too cooperative.

I just Love Summer. It's great!

 

I've just spent a week in Norfolk where it's nice and toasty. Just got back up to Leeds and it's well humid and horribly close. Too much moister. Fortunately i'm sat in a really nice computer cluster but then you notice how humid it is when you step outside.

 

Talking of seasons does any one else get lots of nose bleeds around this time of year or is it just me?

Thanks Steve. I feel for you with no A/C and humidity up that high. I remember it well from years gone by.

 

We have gotten really spoiled the past few years over here as most houses now have central A/C and it is hard to buy an auto that does not have it.

Yeah, me too, last Saturday in fact!

 

I love the spring, summer and autumn as a Carp angler, but I hate the winter.

I fish every weekend all year round, one thing I really really hate is the mud. Yuk!

Last winter was the coldest winter that I've ever fished in which the lakes I fished froze over on 3 seperate occasions.

One night the wind chill was -11 degs C , but I still go in my quest for Carp.

I just hate MUD! (the fact that I like all of my tackle really clean might have something to do with it! )

All the best, Gaffer
