Your first clue to whether your time fishing at the old lake is going to be successful lies in what the weather is like. Fish are very sensitive to temperatures, humidity and pressure levels in the water and the air. Studying how the fish in your area react to weather changes and maintaining a log will help you determine when in the future you need to head for the old fishing hole. If you are fly fishing you should also take note of the Fly Fishing Feathers that are popular with the fish and replicate the insects and flies on the water.
Every member of the animal kingdom, perhaps with the exception of us humans, happens to be very sensitive to the phase of the moon for every activity performed . Fish feed far more ravenously when the moon is full for instance. Going to fish when the moon approaches its full phase, can bring you a lot more fishing success than you would have otherwise.
No fishing guide can actually tell you what exactly to do when you try to pick out the right times to take out your trusty old rod. All a fishing guide can is tell you what kinds of factors affect fishing success in general. It takes a certain amount of personal research to apply that advice.
