A barometer is a scientific instrument
used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure. It also plays a
massive part in my angling as each day after taping the glass I can
immediately see what’s happening. I have a banjo type barometer,
quite an expensive one and the price can range from around
£30 for a basic model to many hundreds of pounds. A basic model is
all an angler needs really to see what the atmospheric pressure is,
if its rising or falling and if a change means that we have a
prolonged spell of high or low pressure pending or if a short storm
is imminent. The duration of these spells is measured by the speed
the pressure, seen by the needle on the front dial, drops of rises.
I’m a firm believer that atmospheric affects makes a huge
difference in the way fish feed, with a falling pressure best and a
reading below 1000mb coinciding with cloudy humid conditions best,
however get a low reading with bright sunshine and blue skies is one
that’s not conducive for catching.
