From the site CCKayaker links to:
Note the last sentence.
| Quote: | As a general guideline, think of 30 inHg (1016 millibar) as being a normal level. World records vary from a high pressure of 32.0 inHg in Siberia to 25.7 inHg during a typhoon (both readings are off the scale of most barometers). For the US, extreme levels can be considered as 30.5 inHg and 28.5 inHg. When it comes to fishing, a change of just +/- 0.02 inHg from normal is enough to effect their feeding habits.

As a matter of interest: From the Bob Hall Weather Station today
At 4:00 am this morning the pressure was 29.97
At 11:00 am this morning the pressure was 30.03
At 7:00 pm this evening the pressure was 29.95
If a change of 0.02 can effect feeding habits, todays changes in pressure
shows how we must be ready to adapt our fishing tactics to those changes.
How many of us carry a barometer with us when we fish?
