Anybody else hate summer?

[Ryan Miloshewski]

Sitting here at work in KC and it is 97 degrees outside already. Heat index getting up to 110 this evening. All this does is make me think I have reverse seasonal depression! I hate summer. I hate "going to the lake," boating, etc. If I am going to a body of water, I want to fish it. Give me fall and spring--fishing is great, hunting seasons are open, you avoid a full-on flop sweat when walking to your car. 

Anyway, who else is preparing for teal season? What do you all think will happen this year for numbers? I've been hearing duck hatches have been excellent up north. I only hope!

I need teal season and walleye fishing on Stockton.

What I hate worse than sweating is having to bulk up with 3 layers of clothing and having to take off my gloves to dig out my weiner when I have to pee.....which for me is about every 20 minutes during cold weather.

I’d rather be in shorts and a tee wet wading a stream. Winter can suck it.

if I hated going boating I'd sell the boat. problem solved. It sure ain't no fun laying around in the shade if it's not warm out.  Fishing sucks in spring when all the creeks are blown out.  and the spawn extends into July. Just in the last five days has the water dropped enough to make fishing easier.

I would rather sweat than be cold.  That being said, I don't like either extreme.  I know what you meant Ryan.  This year has been funky, No doubt.  But aren't they all?

Yes I hate hot and humid but I also hate cold and windy. Give me May and October and I’ll be a happy camper.

Also, after enjoying a Casey's breakfast of large Kona blend coffee, two slices of breakfast 'za, and a cake donut, getting out of waders fast enough to not fill them up is an extreme sport.

I think it's just because I'm stuck up here with all these 90 degree ponds year after year. If I lived in the Ozarks and was able to do that, I'd have a different view I'm sure.

That’s for sure.  I was watching a 4th of July parade in Leadville a few years back and it was snowing. I was heading there next week until the weather man said we were supposed to have temperatures in the 80s.
