Yep, last night it snowed in Tahoe. Just a dusting, but cold temps none the less. Sunday/Monday was good fishing. Tuesday, the barometric pressure dropped and the fish weren't having it. Some say, air pressure has no effect on the fish… yesterday proved that wrong. This cold spell hopefully should trigger the BWO hatch.. caddis are still coming off, just in smaller numbers. October caddis are out - saw one the size of a small hummingbird the other night. Fishing should only get better from here on out. Grab a jacket and get your gear together and head to Tahoe for some good fishing!
Quick Facts - "Barometric pressure varies with altitude. A higher elevation will have less atmosphere above it which exerts less pressure. To keep readings standard across the world, barometric pressure is to be indicated at sea level. Therefore, readings at elevations other than at sea level will require a correction factor which is based on the elevation and the air temperature (colder air weighs more and will require a greater correction)."
