WeatherSTEM Fusion: Wind

  • An old saying goes “When the wind is east, the fish bite the least, when the wind is west, fish bite the best”.

    Remember that winds are named for the direction they blow from, so westerly winds blow from the west and southerly winds blow from the south.

    Typically, westerly and southerly winds are the best for fishing.

  • Today at Lincoln High School, the wind vane is measuring °. Use the compass rose to find the direction the wind is blowing from. Based on the wind, do you think today would be a good day to go fishing?
