Depends on where you are fishing. I like heavy wind when I’m fishing Pyramid

So you like the wind pushing into the shoreline? That's a bear to cast into the wind, I guess no indicator fishing at

our best day on Pyramid was in like 50 MPH winds. Insanity. Every outhouse on the shore got blown into the lake.

Also, I refuse to believe you weren’t made for flyfishing. I’ll bet with a little time and the right kind of flyfishing

Do guys wear dry suits out there?

Just waders, layers, waterproof outer layer. If you do it right, you’re good.

I still need to make it out there. My friend has invited me a few times but

Good point! I’ve had rainy days where the trout were stuffed full of earthworms that were probably washed in. Literally

If rain is knocking bugs into the water they may go on a feeding spree. Just

Fish will feed aggressively in the fall in preparation for winter, maybe since it's been warm they have not felt the

The fall BWO hatch hasn't turned on due to the warm weather. Unsure if the bugs will react as quickly as Friday. I think

Weather matters for sure. For fly fishing for trout on streams….

I’ve heard exactly what you’re talking about in terms of Stillwater fishing and barometric pressure, but haven’t seen it

Interesting about mayfly wings, I probably have read it somewhere before. I know snow doesn't seem to stop mayflies or

Yeah I can’t say for sure if it’s affecting the actual hatch rate, or time on the surface, or just the fish directly,

Interesting observation, my best BWO hatch was on the Lower P. in sunny weather. It started great but then all

No hard and fast rule. Depends on location and time of year. Fish typically prefer the weather that people do -

For sure. Ice in the guides is my only no go. No such thing as bad weather

Maybe I'm making this up but it seems textured fly lines seems to break up some of the ice, but probably a non factor

When it’s super cold, some textured lines are even worse because they carry more water into the guides as you strip,
