Fishing before a cold front

Hi All,

I've noticed that in winter, the day before a cold front approaches, the weather is generally warmer than usual, and sometimes a warm wind is blowing (in front of the approaching cold weather).

What I'd like to know is if this is a good time to fish?

Does the barometric pressure drop during this period, and how does this affect the way fish bite?

Reason for asking is that I try to watch the weather forecast before planning a trip to a dam, and sometimes wonder if it is worth the trip if a front is on the way, because fishing is generally worse once the front has hit.

Any comments would be great, cheers!
