I don't have any science backing me up but I have noticed when flyfishing that the aquatic life goes crazy just before a storm when the barrometer is dropping. I remeber one day in particular where I couldn't buy a rise and then a storm front blew in and bam. Mayflies started to boil out of the river and so did the fish. I must of caught 50 over the next hour. Then it started to pour and it was over. I wounder how "bite times" through the ice correspond with the activity of the aquatic insects? I know most of the fish I catch through the ice of any species are full of insects and plankton and such not other fish. Although that deffinetly happens to.
