What is the best pressure to catch fish?
The best barometric pressure for fishing is between 29.70 and 30.40 inches of Mercury (1005.757 to 1029.462 millibar). This is a medium pressure and if you want to try out some new technique or do any kind of regular fishing, do it during this condition.
Do fish bite better in low or high pressure?
High Pressure (30.50 +/Clear Skies) – Fish bite Medium to Slow in deeper water or near cover while fishing slowly. Medium Pressure (29.70 – 30.40/Fair Weather) – Normal Fishing using different gear or baits to meet the needs of the fish. Low Pressure (29.60 and under/Cloudy/Rainy Weather) – Fishing Slows.

How does pressure affect fishing?
Fish are believed to experience the change in barometric pressure through their air bladders. The change in pressure can cause them to move into deeper waters in order to alleviate their discomfort and balance out the pressure.
Does weather affect fishing?
But what does affect them is barometric pressure. Incoming precipitation and cooler temperatures drive barometric pressure down, and pleasant, warm and clear weather sends it up. Rising pressure sends fish moving around cover and in lower depths, before the pressure tops out and fish become lethargic.
How is fishing pressure measured?
To measure fishing pressure in recreational fishing, I use catch (number of caught fish), yield (biomass of caught fish), and visit rates (number of anglers). Then, I calculate catch per one fishing visit and yield per one fishing visit. It should work as a kind of CPUE (catch per unit of effort).
What are the best conditions for fishing?
As fish are cold-blooded, they rely on their environment to heat or cool their body. The best fishing weather is usually dusk or dawn, as the sun rays filtering through the water aren’t too hot. By midday, particularly on sunny days, fish are more likely to have dived a little deeper to cooler water3.
