Re: conditions
Sorry I think this post has come out twice; not sure what i did wrong----Sudden changes in water temperature will put fish down for a time but not, for weeks at a time. Spawning will see a decrease in feeding activity but, not to that extent. Regarding wind and other conditions this might interest you.

Regarding conditions these are changing all the time and whatever they are they will always suit one species more than another so, there will at least suit one or maybe two species at any given time that are the most likely to feed. The extent of this will be varied of course. In the middle of winter with a high pressure, bright sun, clear water fishing will be hard but, even then there would be at least one species that will be more likely to feed , probably roach or chub.
Low pressure is better than high pressure but, is it that high pressure usually has bright sun, low rain and clear water conditions or is it actually the high pressure?
One interesting point is that high pressures occur more in the winter months than summer and they can last for longer periods. I checked this out with the metorlogical office in Devon. So, as fish are less active during the winter months this will have an influence on any records kept over a long period that will show high pressures produce less fish.
