Showery windy days are generally best for 

 fly fishing, blowing from the south, south-west, 

 west, and north ; there are but few fish take in 

 east winds. When the wind blows warm in 

 the beginning of the season it is good for bait 

 fishing, and in autumn mild days are best. In 

 days when there is no likelihood of constant 

 rain after clear nights, and a nice grey cloud 

 covers the sky, with a good cool breeze blowing 

 to ripple the water, this is the time to rise the 

 large trout, and which afford the best sport. 



" Full nature swarms with one wondrous mass 

 Of animals, or atoms organized, 

 Waiting the vital breath, when parent heaven 

 Shall hid His spirit blow." 



Thomson.
