Reading the Signs: Can Wildlife Predict Fishing Success?

[DJD]

I've always heard that women on a boat can bring bad luck. Maybe that's why I always outfish my husband, and I'd better not catch him paying attention to the beavers.

Lol!!! I can't say anything more cause its a family site.

I probably went a bit far with that one. I'm was just trying to make people laugh.

What I meant was when the pressure drops as an indicator of a front approaching, Beavers tend to get active checking their dams and dens because they are anticipating an increase in water levels. Since the wife hates to fish high winds, when the beavers are active, I tend to launch and fish at the dam so she will be in calmer waters, and so if it does rain, we are closer to the ramp.

Really.....trust me......I used to sell cars.

What the conditions are, what the wildlife are doing, and all the "old sayings" won't predict your fishing success !! Remember - you gotta find'em before you can catch'em !! Knowing where they are (or should be, given the current trend of conditions) comes from knowledge about the habits & habitats of the fish you're after. And, even that may not always work in your favor, since the fish have a habit of doing things that defy all sense of reason, at times.
And, you sure won't catch'em if'n ya don't go !!
