Cattle's Position Indicates Fishing Siccess?
I had to run an errond this morning which took me on a road past (at least) three differenct cattle pastures in Hardin County. I hadn't really paid any attention until I was on my way back home, but then I noticed that everywhere there was cattle, most of them were sitting/laying in the grass and the few that were standing just seemed to be standing and not moving at all. Even though I am not a "farm boy" I know that the weather has a lot to do with how animals act, as it does with people and fish.
This got me to thinking that over the years that I have been fishing in Kentucky, I have heard and read a bunch of stories/explanations/reasons/etc. and folkore about how to tell if the fishing will be good or bad by observing callle in the fields. I have never really thought about this because I was usually on my way to a lake when I noticed any cattle and I would have gone fising even if the cattle sign indicated that the fishing was bad, Kind of the same as I may make note of the Baremetric Pressure but if I want to go fishing, I am going fishing no matter what.
Anyhow, I was just wondering if other people had heardd these stories and if so have you every found them to be true of just fish stories? I would like to hear any observations along this lines.

Cattles Postion Indicating Fish Success
Yep, I watch this all the time, and for me its about 80% accurate, I think. But I have had days the dang cows where running in a field and never caught a fish. I got a place on CC that if I see a Muskrat I know I will catch good fish in that area.
