Fishing Tips
(Finding Fish – General) –
BehindWaterfalls
Try fishing behind waterfalls. They naturally collect food behind, and this attracts small minnows and game fish. Bait is typically better than lures in these situations. Keep the bait there long enough to give fish a chance.
Fishing Tips (Finding Fish – General) – The Wind You will do better in a lake or pond on the windward side. The wind will cause floating insects to collect at the end, and the wave action will churn up food form the bottom. At the least this will attract forage fish that will attract larger fish such as bass or pike.

Go To The Trees
Overhanging trees are sometimes bastions for fish. If you notice any of the following things about the tree you are considering, chances are you will get some bites:
• Flowering trees – insects will be abundant for the pollen, and will
make their way into the water – fish love this.
• Defoliated tress – indicate presence of moths, sawflies, and beetles (same idea as the above)
• Trees cracked by lighting or winds provide housing for insects
• Woodpeckers signal presence of insects Cherry, horse chestnut, apple, dogwood, hawthorn, and catalpa usually have more insects.
