I'm giving up today. 1 rod left out and a kingfisher landed on it, with a catch in its beak, can't finish on much better note than that! Sadly I'm not one to have the camera ready at all times so no pic

Nutters, pretty hairy with that wind, wouldn't want to be near any trees, MW 
I'm doing the next best thing fishing wise, organising my gear, not that it'll get used

Fished last night, exceptionally windy, was behind an embankment, but still clinging onto the bivvy most of the night. I was the only one on surprisingly....

I'm out now on a local runs water as not been out in ages. Had 5 so far but seriously considering not doing the night as I'm spending half the day dodging falling branches etc so wouldn't have a comfortable night, so may cut my losses and pack up on dark instead

"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😒😒😒
