95 Degrees and sunny means there is only one place to fish
You can lament the heat in July and accept fishing for trout for the only 2 productive hours of the day at dawn/dusk. Or…grab a wide-brimmed straw hat and jump in the U-boat. Yesterday as the heat began to build, I started thinking about damselflies and lily pads. The more humid it got the more I thought some of the local ponds would light up.
Not finding anything on the edges, I moved out to the pods of lilies in the deeper water and quickly began to pick up fish on top with some nice fat fish finding the apron of the tube.

There’s no doubt that warm water fishing expands your opportunities, and bluegill are such great fun to fish for. For the last four days, my wife and I have been embracing the heat a bit more than we want to as the fan motor on our air conditioner burned out:( It’s been in the high 90’s since it stopped working and trying to sleep in an 85 degree house ain’t much fun. That said, I’m waiting for the repair guy to come now and hopefully, we’ll be back in the cool temps again soon; at least inside the house.

I fish when I can. That’s generally in the middle of the day.
The heat can be brutal, but you usually have the fish to yourself.
James, I feel for you brother…been there. Not a fun time at all. Luck to ya!
D4D, Sounds like much of my fishing time as well.
