Cold front

[Scott]

We're coming down Friday evening to fish for 3 days. I've fished Taney many times, but this is the first time in February. My luck, it looks like a major cold front will be hitting today-tomorrow. My question, what affect will it have and how should it change our approach? We were hoping to do some fly-fishing in the trophy area and also catch a few to eat on power bait further down, so I'd be interested in you alls opinion of the affect of the front in both areas. I also got a couple Rapalas, thought I might cast for some browns. Thanks in advance!

Scott, I did really well on black zebra's, an olive wooly and crackleback in the trophy area. Pretty much anything that you throw in there was working last weekend. And the weather conditions were about the same. You shouldn't have any trouble catching some fish and a nice cold to go along with it. Oh, but it's all worth it.

Good Luck.

It has always seemed to me that fishing is better under a high pressure systerm (clear and sunny) but catching is better under a low pressure system (cloudy, rainy). The only approach change I would make is to dress warm and get ready to pull in a lot of fish.
