Thanks for all the replies! Like most freshwater fishermen, I long ago realized that calm sunny days were usually not good for the bite, except during early spring when the water is cold. Normally low light conditions, such as caused by waves, clouds, dawn or dusk, are best.

Guess I'm mostly curious about why. Is it easier to catch prey under low light conditions? Do bright conditions limit their eyesight, or maybe even hurt their eyes? Don't know if there's been a lot of research on the subject, but ...
