Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

October Fishing Report
Cooler October temps around Hunt Valley have fish feeding. On Loch Raven Reservoir, largemouth bass are sliding shallow onto points and coves, chasing young shad. Work shallow-running crankbaits, white spinnerbaits, or suspending jerkbaits along wind-blown banks. Crappie are schooling over brush in 8–15 ft; small jigs under floats or minnows are producing. Expect bonus chain pickerel around weed edges and laydowns.
The Gunpowder Falls tailwater is clear and cool, with steady flows. Wild brown trout are sipping BWO and midge hatches during overcast afternoons; size 18–22 dries and emergers, plus small olive/black streamers on cloudy stretches, are effective. Nymphing with pheasant tails and zebra midges in seams is consistent.
Best times: late morning through mid-afternoon after chilly starts; low-light periods are solid on windy banks for bass. Conditions: post‑frontal bluebird skies slow bites—downsize and fish slower; rising barometer and light chop improve action.
Top tip: Match shad size—if you see 2–3 inch bait flipping, downsize your jerkbait or spinnerbait blades to trigger more strikes.
