If the cows are laying down the fish aren't biting. If the wind is out of the east the fish bite the least. Wind out of the west fish bite the best. What about if the flies are biting the fish are biting. That was the correlation with today's fishing. Makes sense to me, flies have a tendency to bite as rain approaches and the barometric pressure was likely dropping with the approaching rain. The fishing was fantastic this morning. No huge fish but lots of solid 2-3 lb fish. The fish are fat and healthy and look as good as they have in several years. It seems that the past two years the pond has been on an upswing with the bluegill on the rebound the bass have been fattening up. It should continue to get better over the next few years.

First fish of the morning. 

Last fish of the morning. 

And lots of fish in between.
