Homie, I wet waded last Sunday ( water was 14 deg ). With the weather looking great for the rest of the week, I reckon that the water temp should be around 16 deg. Perfect for both fishing and wet wading. w;k
 
Sunday's air temps are forcast at 33 deg max. Summer is here  :yipee: :yipee:
If we caught fish on every trip, it would be called " Catching". We don't, and that's why it's called "Fishing".

Water temp was +- 13 still, some guys did wet wade , I didn't as I dob't like the shade of blue I turn.

Nah I'm quite keen actually. You see I ordered an consignment of British ales and bitters, which I have to collect Sunday morning. This goes without saying I'll be partaking of said beverages with unbridled gusto  :craz:  hence my unavailability.  :frid

It is old and slightly leaky - It might even kill the critters.

Afterthought - He can even take them home if he wants

Now on a serious note, Mr Homie do you want it? It will keep warmer than not using it and it has a pouch that can hold some beer.

Just to undo the  :cens patch job I did and patch it again.
The water is not that cold anymore - and although it leaks it will keep you warm.

Hey Homes, does this mean that you will be joining us on Sunday ?
 
Looking forward to this one. The predicted temp for Sunday is 34 deg. Wet wading probably a must at thos air temps. :hehe:

Water temp this morning was 15.1 so it wont be needed.
But then again Herman he is as thin and slender as me, might just need it!

Hi Herman guilty as charged on the phone. I had a crap week and was sleeping. I picked up a colon infection on Wednesday and someone stole my computer out of my car yesterday. So I wish I could make it but my car is out of service till Monday,when the window can be replaced.
Please do a report I need to go fish. The yellow boiling n my blood.
