If it's a drastic cold front, then fishing will slow down, but most of the time you can catch a lot of smallmouth bass in rivers after a cold front. In lakes, it's
another story. Fish will go deeper and shut down for a couple of days. The clearer the lake, the worse the fishing will be following a cold front. After a
cold front, the next day is usually full of sun without a cloud in the sky. These conditions are horrible for catching smallmouth in clear lakes. The only
time cold fronts don't effect fishing on lakes too much is in the fall. Many anglers believe that a cold front in early fall will trigger the bass to feed
because they know that winter is approaching.
Warm fronts are very good for fishing the majority of the time. Warm fronts are usually followed by some stable weather for a few days, which makes
fishing excellent. In mid-summer, a warm front can make fishing tough. 90 degree weather and smallmouth bass don't get along too well. You can still
catch bass in the hot weather, but early mornings, evenings, and nights are best. If you do fish during the day, try going deep or fish around shade and
you will have some success.
