Haven't been out since the heat got real bad a few weeks ago. No relief in the foreseeable future. Every time I think about making an attempt on the weekend, I just go walk to get the mail and that sets my mind straight.

May try some spots under some bridges that I haven't hit in a while to stay out of the direct sun but even in the shade it's been killer with zero wind. 110+ feels like temps should be illegal.

I got up to get the kayak out Saturday morning. 5:30 am. Was sweating before I got it loaded. Decided to go back inside.

Maybe next weekend

The guy there in the red shorts in Hunter's pic is a former student of mine, and he caught two small trout before we got there....makes cents since Copper Creek flows into the Clinch River.
