When the cows are lying down the fishing is bad..Fact or Fiction.

Fact!

fiction! they were standing up today and fishing sucked!

didnt know cow's lied..
I always trusted them ....go figgure??..

Or do you mean laying..??
sorry couldnt help myself

I've been driving either to or from my fishing spot and have seen cows standing up in one field and laying down in another. What does that mean then?

My guess is less than average day Rayzor. lol I guess if bubbles show up behind your lure its a top water day is questionable? Just a thought

They are......conflicted?

Cows stand more when the wind blows, that is a fact.

Its not just cows, if all wildlife is active IE* birds,turtles,cows,ducks etc, then typically the fish will be more active, its all about barometric pressure.

Hell if I am doing it the right way its dark on the way to the lake and dark on the way home so I don't see the cows anyway.

Definately true Mark . If you ask my wife yes, when she spots them laying down it just bums her out I ask her were the ones laying down on the right or left side of the truck then fish out of the otherside of the boat. I've always been told the same thing about wildlife in all when they are active and not so will the fish. The funny thing is all of the cows are standing when we leave the lake going home.

As a farm raised country�boy I can assure you that when the cow�s are laying down it�s cause their tired�LOL just go fishing because the bass can�t see the cow�s anyway !!!

Old timers used to think this way, but its not very accurate anymore. Deer are a good indicator, but the way livestock is feed based on schedules they are about as useful as using a human schedule for eating for the most part. But like i said non-domesticated animals can be a pretty decent indicator to how the fish are feeding.

Awe guess uve never had a bad day still had 6 fish only fishing 4 hours biggest went 4lbs. but i guess cantcatchacold must never complain,or have a bad day... some people are just awesome
