*When there is a drop in barometric pressure fish feed more and become more active (Low pressure system) When weather begins to change to cloudy from consistent sun filled days the fishing peaks.
*If the low pressure system remains cloudy or scattered showers during the day fish will come more shallow and agressive on the bite until this becomes the norm after a couple days. Trout come up in depth and bass hit the flats.
*If stormy weather or consistent rain continues the fish are less active and go to deeper and calmer water in a hurry.
*When a high pressure system begins to move back into an area that was stormy or mild the fish are increasingly active until the cloud free skies resume and persist. Fish will begin to move to their normal depth.
*With a steady barometric pressure and extended nice weather with occasional clouds fishing is consistent day to day. Fish structure, drop-offs, and the average depth for the target species. If a long hot spell of sunshine sticks around the fish will go deep for cooler water.
Overall if fishing is good get it while you can, if it is lousy or slow time your next outing with a weather change. What do you think? My proof is in the freezer.
