FISH
iiT'
By FULTON LOVELL
Fish and Weather
The weather plays an important role in fishing,
but many anglers are not aware of it or tend to
disregard it.
Here are a few pointers on this little known
fishing factor which, I hope, will increase your
ability to take the big ’uns.
When rain, accompanied by wind, heats down
on your favorite lake, put on your slicker. You
may get wet, but you’ll catch fish. Wind blows
ralge helpings of insects into the water.
Flying insects such as dragonflies will hover in
large numbers in the lee of windbreaks such as
overhanging willows or bushes, steep banks or trees
to ride out the storm. Many fall into the waters to
the great satisfaction of the fish therein. Fishermen
may get wet, but they’ll have fun while doing it.
It is common knowledge that the mouths of
small brooks or creeks where they empty into a
larger stream are fine fishing spots. These areas
become even more productive when the rains begin.
Insects and other food are swept down these
branches right into the mouths of hungry fish.
All fish can somehow sense the approach of
rain. Whe nthey do, they usually head for the
banks to feed. Rain sweeps insects off of over
hanging bushes and trees and, at the same time,
will give you some of the finest sport you’ve
had in many a day. Y
Now, all of you have heard of weather fronts.
These fronts can help you fill your boat wells,
stringers and creels. Check the weather forecasts
in newspapers, TV and radio, which trace the move
ments of these fronts across the country.
A phone call to the U.S. Weather Bureau
nearest you will give you the exact time the
front is expected to cross over your area.
Be on the water at least an hour or two ahead
of the front, but stay during the storm. The fish
love it and so will you after you pull in several
lunker bass.
What lure to use? Any noisy one that
will produce a commotion in the rain-battered
waters will draw vicious strikes.
Don’t wait util after the storm has passed before
going fishing.
Go before it comes. Your friends probably will
tell you that you’re all wet, but you’ll have the
last laugh.
Last summer on Lake Lanier above Atlanta, I
happened to observe two fishermen seeking bass.
One was paddling the boat and the other was cast
ing with a topwater plug.
The latter would cast out and hardly allow the
lure to rest upon the water before he’d have it back
to the boat. He made another cast toward the bank,
put his rod down and lit a cigarette. No sooner had
he taken up his rod and started to reel in than a
two-pound largemouth had knocked the stuffings
out of the plug. ,
This story illustrates the mistake most peo
ple make when fishing. They do it too fast.
When usin gany topwater bait on fly, baitcasting
or spinning rod, try a slow retrieve. It usually pro
duces results. What any fisherman usually tries to
achieve is to make the lure act like some insect or
animal struggling in the water. There are, of course,
exceptions to this rule. When using a spoon or
spinner, it is not wise to make an extremely slow
retrieve. Because if you do, you’re liable to wind
up with all the debris on the bottom of the lake.
There are exceptions to this rule, too. When
using a weedless spoon, it may pay to bump it over
lily pads or submerged objects in shallowwater.
But when using a bass bug on the business end
of a fly rod, most lunkers play hard to get. When
casting for the big bass, let the lure lie motionless
in the water and then give an almost imperceptible
twitch. If nothing happens, let it be still for a while
and then give it another twitch. Speed up the re-
trive slightly if still nothing occurs. After a bit you’ll
find the best method and then the fun will begin.
