When the water is still or slightly rippled, rather than during a wind.įishing is said to be best during the time between a new Moon and a full Moon.When the breeze is from a westerly quarter rather than from the north or east.(The fisherman will have to match his fly with the hatching flies or go fishless.) When there is a hatch of flies-caddis flies or mayflies, commonly.High pressure accompanying clear weather can bring on sluggishness and reduced activity. The smart fisherman will find just the right bait!) Angling can also be good when the pressure is either steady or on the rise 1 to 2 days after a storm. (But even during stormy periods, the fish aren’t going to give up feeding. Just before the arrival of a storm, although the falling barometric pressure will eventually slow down the rate at which fish feed.During the “morning rise” (after sunup for a spell) and the “evening rise” (just before sundown and the hour or so after).Low tides are halfway between high tides. Inland, the times for high tides correspond with the times when the Moon is due south. One hour before and one hour after high tides, and one hour before and one hour after low tides.For example, fish tend to feed more at sunrise and sunset and during a full moon (when tides are higher than average). The Sun, Moon, tides, and weather all influence fish activity. The best times to fish are when the fish are naturally most active.
