Good Afternoon.
It is very hot today, well into the thirties in fact, and I am sat in the shade of my shelter’s porch looking at the distant mountains. Nothing happened last night, apart from two annoying incidents from the cats within five minutes of each other. It seems they haven’t departed, so I have moved one rod to a new position about 80 metres in front of my existing marker. The depth here is 10m and sometimes positioning your hookbait away from your main baited area can do the trick in snaffling a big lone carp.
What scenery!
Apart from today’s activity moving the rod, I have left the other two where they are. Tomorrow I will make a start sorting through some of my equipment, ready for Sundays departure off the lake. I will then have a couple of days left in Italy, before I drive back to France, through stunning Switzerland.
Dragonflies are hatching at the moment.
I am now going to take a quick dip in the lake to cool down, and then think about some dinner.
Have a good weekend.
Jake and the dogs.

Yeah the heat is nice though!! However, I must admit, I am looking forward to heading back to the UK for some good old British weather for a week or three!! It is rather hot in Italy for my dogs at the moment, and they spend most of the day, panting, and drinking lake water!! I think they are looking forward to a cooler climate too.
Thanks for following me in Italy buddy.
Cheers

You’ll be pleased to know that our mini heat wave has finished and we are back to good old English fishing weather.
