(don't know where that one come from, but I've heard it).

Cows laying and fish not biting-I've heard that one a lot.

Wind out of the north they don't bite.
(I think that one is definetly true)
If the sticks are floating straight up, that means teh barometer is up, and thats why they arent biting. Next time you notice this, fish deeper! It has worked for me in the past, and an old guy told me about the sticks a long time ago!
