Rick,
It definately makes a difference.
I hate fishing high pressure...

It is also on the weather buoys that are located on the home page under buoy reports. I think the only one currently showing pressure is Eagle Point. it is also on Weather underground.
Falling pressure is typically better, but there are many other factors to consider also....lunar cycle....tidal movement....water temp etc.
I fish when I can and don't worry about it too much. If you present it right and get it right in front of them, they will eat it!sigpic

really been watching the pressure changes and trout bite, more lately than I ever did. Found a few interesting notable trends. Trout don't seem to like steady pressure, whether it's steady flat, moving up or down for a long period. That seems to create a lull. If it's travelling up or down for a long period, then moves the opposite direction, that will often trigger a feed. The tricky part is what do you attribute that to? Most of the time when the pressure hits a "switch" like that, it coincides with a moon occurence or tide swing. sometimes it's all of the above. it's tough for me with limited meteoralogical skills and equipment to say which is the driver and which are the results.
Steady is boring, really high usually brings a slower bite, closer to the bottom. Really low pressure, never can tell what they will do, but if you catch it low when it starts back up, hold on tight. Same thing when it's really high and first starts dropping.http://www.theshallowist.com

Whoa whoa whoa... I was under the impression that due to the swim bladder, high pressure was better (normal), vs low pressure that causes the swim bladder to expand, discomforting the fish and leaving them inactive (as far as feeding goes) until the pressure stabilizes.

If pressure 29.90 and lowering one day and the bite is on and the next day it's 30.00 and rising, you might as well go home. if it's over 30 a few days in a row fish, they can't go without feeding two days in a row. Heard that from a famous guide

I haven't looked at the exact pressure yesterday, but I know that it was high. I would say that we actually had a good day on quality trout, during the tournament. I personally caught at least 10 trout over 3 pounds, never broke 5 pounds (landed) but the overall numbers weren't bad. it's more about understanding what the pressure will do to the fish and how they will react. They don't stop eating, and existing just because the pressure gets high!!!! They do change their behavior though.
Don't go home just because the pressure is high, change your tactics! The fish will still bite at some time during the day. Tournaments have taught me well that you have to fish through some very tough conditions some times to come out on top. The most important thing day in, and day out, is to be where the fish are and keep casting.http://www.theshallowist.com
