Is a question we all would like an answer to.
In my (relatively) limited experience when I was a teenager, I fished on Saturday mornings until about lunchtime.
If I was on the north bank of a river (i.e. the river runinning from right to left), and the day was Ok weatherwise, I always expected a fish between 1030 ish to about 1200
That is the magic period for me so I recommend you pay extra special attention during that period

Look out for sublte temperature increases like when a hatch of flies ocurr, and when trout or parr start to rise. In addition to this a slight drop in wind resulting in a slightly warmer feel to the air is also a could time These small rises in temp can often bring salmon on the take.

The reason why mid day is such a good time in early spring is that it usually coincides with the warmest part of the day. As the season moves on through towards the end of April and on through May the warmest part of the day progressess towards 3 p.m. Last light is a good time for summer and autumn fish, but I cannot say from my own experiences that it has been very productive for early spring fishing...................reason I think is due to air and water temps start to fall too quickly.

One other thing I associate with fish coming on the take is when I become conscious of hearing birds - probably due to the wind dropping. tb |

I'll go with abk on this one the old adage of you wont get one unless your flee is in the water is right but I like to dip it in when its just right instead of freezing my nuts off. On the 2nd my felt sole were frozen to the floor of the boat nearly went arse over tit when I stood up.
