Best Days for Fishing in 2008
When the Moon is between new and full:
January 8-22
February 6-20
March 7-21
April 5-20
May 5-19
June 3-18
July 2-18
August 1-16
August 30-September 15
September 29-October 14
October 28-November 13
November 27-December 12
December 27-31
The best times to fish are when the fish are naturally most active. The Sun, Moon, tides, and weather all influence fish activity. For example, fish tend to feed more at sunrise and sunset. During a full Moon, tides are higher than average and fish tend to feed more. However, most of us go fishing when we can get the time off, not because it is the best time. But there are best times, according to fishing lore:
Best Times for Fishing
One hour before and one hour after high tides, and one hour before and one hour after low tides. Inland, the times for high tides correspond with the times when the Moon is due south. Low tides are halfway between high tides.
During the "morning rise" (after sunup for a spell) and the "evening rise" (just before sundown and the hour or so after).
When the barometer is steady or on the rise. (But even during stormy periods, the fish aren't going to give up feeding. The smart fisherman will find just the right bait.)
When there is a hatch of flies -- caddis flies or mayflies, commonly. (The fisherman will have to match his fly with the hatching flies or go fishless.)
When the breeze is from a westerly quarter rather than from the north or east.
When the water is still or rippled, rather than during a wind

You are not just a flake you sound like quite a fisherman! I will have to get your opinion on the BWAB! Have you heard of the Trout Magnet the guy that makes it is from WV. They sell them at Wal Mart. I met him at a few of the sport shows that we sold at!
