usually a steady or gradually rising barometric pressure will mean good fishing...any sharp flucuation up or down isnt ideal..not saying you wont get anything, just may have to work a little harder. the national weather service will give you your current pressure and if you dig a little deeper on that site, they even map out the pressure readings from the past 48hrs or so, then you can see the current trend.

average sea level pressure is around 29.921 inches of mercury or about 1013 millibars.

I have found if the pressure is less than 30 the fishing sucks in my area of Idaho.
