The Best Times to Fish
Posted Jun 15, 09 in Fun Facts
(The Old Farmer’s Almanac)
The best times to fish are when the fish are naturally most active. However, most of us go fishing when we can get the time off, not because it is the best time. But there are best times, according to fishing lore:
During the “morning rise” (after sunup for a spell) and the “evening rise” (just before sundown and the hour or so after).
When the barometer is steady or on the rise. (But even during stormy periods, the fish aren’t going to give up feeding. The smart fisherman will find just the right bait.)
When the breeze is from a westerly quarter rather than from the north or east.
When the water is still or rippled, rather than during a wind.

If the birds be silent,
expect thunder.
When spiders’ webs in air do fly,
The spell will soon be dry.
When the glowworm lights her lamp,
the air is always very damp.
Bats flying late in the evening indicate fair weather.
