Early and Late
From the crack of dawn until late morning or late afternoon until dusk becomes nightfall are the best times of day to go fishing. Fish like warm water, but not too warm. Even during cooler seasons, the sun is hottest during midday hours. That also means this is most likely the time that your catch will be headed toward deeper and cooler waters.
Watch the Weather Fronts
Before cold fronts settle in, fish are known to become particularly active. Yes, that is also a good time to bait your hook. During and after cold fronts pass the region, likewise, are recognized as less favorable fishing conditions.
Warm fronts are a green light for all fishing activities. Before, during, and after warm fronts, the water temperature increases. This subtle change also directly impacts the feeding habits of fish, making them more likely to bite.
Rain, Rain, Go Away?
In most cases, rain is a bad thing for fishing conditions. The one exception is light rain or sprinkles. In particular, during the early fishing and mid-fishing season, fish are prone to hunt for insects that have been washed down as a result of these conditions.
Additionally, cloudy conditions often mean fish will be more prone to searching the surface for food. This also makes our gilled friends more likely to be our grilled friends too.
