What opinion's [if any] do you have about the result a rising or falling barometer has on whether or not fish [steelhead] are more or less willing to bite?

THIS MAY SOUND CRAZY BUT IVE HEARD THIS BEFORE...........
WHEN THE CATTLE ARE STANDING THAT MEANS THAT THE FISHING WILL BE BAD AND IF THEY ARE LAYING DOWN THE FISHING IS GOOD. IT ALL TIES INTO THE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE.
NO!, I HAVE NOT BEEN NIPPING ON THE YUKON JACK BOTTLE OR SNIFFING MY FLY TYING GLUE!

Big Mac,
Sniffing what?? Put to much of that stuff on your flies and the fish will pass out. Ive noticed that right before a rain storm, the fishing is never any good. When the barometer is rising after a front, thats supposed to be the ticket.

who knows.....
