With the weather we are having the next couple of days what kind of fishing are we gonna have this weekend? Will the fish be active a couple of days after all this cold weather leaves? Does anyone have any answers? []

IF ITS WALLEYE,S NO. VERY FEW FISH WILL BITE. THEY GET LOCK JAWED. IF ITS TROUT THEY ALWAYS BITE AFTER A COLD FRONT. HIT A RIVER AND FISH FEED 365 DAYS A YR. HIGH OR LOW PRESSURE DOES NOT EFFECT THEM LIKE IN LAKES AND RESSIVORES.

It’s not quite as simple as yes or no. Without getting to complicated this is the cliff notes version. It really depends on each particular body of water and the conditions of the water. The affects of weather are directly proportional to the clarity of water dark water absorbs sunlight faster and warms earlier than clear water. Thus pre-spawn and spawning periods may occur earlier in dark water. A Cold front on an ultra clear lake is more pronounced than on a darker lake, warmer lake. Weather also retards insect hatches which determine fish location. Usually fish go into a negative cycle during the cold front and become less active, but before and after the cold front they will be more active as they try to stock up on the available forage. The inner ear of a fish is not much different than our own, for example if you drive up and over a mountain pass you feel it in your inner ear this amounts to a change in altitude. In water this correlates to atmospheric pressure and the movement of pressure ridges. Hope this helps ..

I try not to complicate my fishing trips too much. I say go, regardless of the weather. I am convinced the fishing can be good or bad in any type of weather.
