My Father's Version

I was taught this saying by my Dad. It is a common little poem known by most fisherman, but sometimes the versions vary. This is the way it was taught to me by my father:

When the wind is from the West that's when fish bite the best.
When the wind is from the South, it blows the hook in the fish's mouth.
When the wind is from the East that is when the fish bite least.
When the wind is from the North, the fisherman doth not venture forth.

A lot of truth in the old sayings.
