Another one for the fresh water lads, i had another short session at lunch time today trying for pike, i could see the fish but they just weren't interested in my lures. Deciding it was to hot for them i down sized and decided to try for a few perch, a few cases in the rod start's. Going mental i thought i was in to a good Perch or a small pike, it turned out I'd tail hooked a bream, about 3lb, i eased it in and unhooked it, opting to do this in the water as it was about 26c and the fish was foal hooked so wouldn't have counted in the lure challenge. After reading about a break being caught on an isome i quickly change to a small (size 16 i think) hook with an isome. By this time the water was swimming with break so i wacked on a couple of split shot for a bit of weight and plunked the worm on the fishs noise, but they were not interested in the slightest, didn't even get a follow. There was a lad fishing fir them with bread but they didn't seem interested in that either. Going to try in the morning (working the weekend), maybe with a breadfly. Anyway the point of the post was, do fresh water fish stop feeding if its too warm?
