[cool][#0000ff]Hate to be vague, but much depends on what part of the lake you fish and for what species. Also, which side of the "front" you fish. There are a series of "cells" coming through. Sometimes the fish hit best just ahead of or during a front. Often they shut down during a serious pressure change or for awhile afterward.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I am kinda wimpy in my old age and I prefer to wait for a couple of days of stable weather before planning a trip. But, like most fishermen, I have been caught on the water in some yucky weather and have sometimes had great action in the worst of it.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I think I can reasonably predict that the smallmouth will be tough. They are fair weather fish. Perch can be caught, if you can find them, but they will be deeper and are likely to be moody...only biting for brief periods if at all...usually during sunshine periods between storms.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The trout can be very active during the sloppy weather. Sometimes they cruise the banks, looking for food washed in by the rain. At the mouth of the river they could gang up if the river raises a little and colors up a bit. Browns especially like muddy inflow. Out in the open water the trout have been very active near the surface. Throw flies or spinners from the mouth of the Provo out to the buoy line. Use dark pattern flies, like black buggers. If the sun comes out, switch to some white stuff.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The best time to go fishing is whenever you can get away...and fishing is always good, even if the catching isn't.[/#0000ff]
