I misspent a part of my life as a bait caster for Bass, I am ashamed but I know some of y'all did the same thing. Thursday, I got the chance to run over to the Rio Penasco near Mayhill NM to fish. A weak cold front with a moderated North wind was blowing. That would pretty much spell death to a bass guy. Old saying: Wind from the North, Fisherman do not go forth.

Not knowing about trout and going to go anyway since I had the chance I went. I don't think I have ever been skunked before on the Penasco, may be one fish, but not skunked. Well, now I have been. 4 Weeks ago I slayed 'em on Parachute Hoppers. I had one fish look at the hopper. No luck w/ Chernobyl Ant, Madame X crapped out, Bitch Creek Nymph w/ red Chrionmide dropper, nada.

Do trout respond to atmospheric changes like bass do? (Finally, I got to the question!)
