Weather plays a defining role in stillwater fly fishing, influencing everything from trout behavior to where and how an angler should fish. Changes in temperature, wind, and barometric pressure directly affect oxygen levels, food availability, and fish movement. A light breeze can push plankton and insects toward the windward shore, concentrating feeding trout, while overcast skies often make fish less wary and more active near the surface. Sudden weather shifts—like a falling barometer before a storm—can trigger brief feeding frenzies, while bright, calm days may demand finer presentations and deeper retrieves. Understanding how each weather pattern shapes lake conditions helps anglers anticipate trout behavior and turn changing skies into opportunity.
