I was trying to figure out why fishing for coho had turned off so dramatically Mon thru Wed of this week out of Meadow Point.

Initially I thought it could be related to the full moon and clear nights allowing the fish to feed at night. When I asked the WDFW fish checker about this I was told that if I believed in the 'old wives tale' that it could be true. Otherwise there was no conclusion given to me.

Later I thought about it and came to believe that it was probably related to the intense pressure from the derby ( and some poor fishing techniques on my part rolleyes ).

I am wondering though, I have fished at night before and found that fish feed more readily on a full moon so wonder if there is any truth to the 'old wives tale'. I have also fished daytime during the Harvest Moon and found that the bite is pretty poor.

What do you think?
