 Tide Charts: Find Cooler Water In The Hot Months
Posted by fliesandfinssouth on Sunday, August 05 @ 13:15:34 PDT
Most all saltwater fish thrive in water temperatures of a specific range. This temperature range can be a key factor in how a fish is feeling. Are fish feeding, moving, or just sitting dormant? In the tropics, feeding patterns of certain species in the warmer months can be triggered by the tides. A fish in water that is really warm might not be looking for a meal, but instead is looking for a cooler place to be. You might be able to find and target these fish, but are there other more cooperative fish out there that may be more willing to devour your offering?
Getting a good understanding of their environment might just key you in on spots that can produce more fish. A tide chart, or basic tidal flow information of certain areas can be detrimental to your success. When fly fishing, especially sight fishing, we tend to look for fish in the shallowest of areas. This shallow water is often much warmer than the deeper water around the flat, but on certain tidal periods fish might move onto the flats to feed. The best times to fish in this situation are the bottom of the incoming tide, and the top half of the fall. A combination of the coolest/lowest water might be a great place to start looking for a few fish to throw at.
