The best fishing days for June look to take place in the middle third of the month, according to the Farmers' Almanac's Fishing Calendar.

Conditions will be mostly poor to fair at the beginning and end of the month, but will be fairly solid for about an 11-day span beginning June 5 and ending June 16
The morning of June 6 and the evenings of June 12, 15 and 16 will offer the best times all month for fishing, according to the calendar's formula, which is based on moon phase, zodiac signs of the moon and experience.

June 23-24 will offer the last good fishing days of the month, followed by poor to fair fishing through the first day of July.

The month looks to start out rather cool on the back end of a storm system that will leave the sky with heavy cloud cover through June 4 before warming into the 80s, according to Accuweather.com.

June 5 will be partly sunny with a high of 88 with several thunderstorms possible throughout the week. The following week looks to be mild but sunny, hitting 79 degrees on June 12 before warming to 82 on June 15 with partial cloud cover beginning to take over throughout the weekend.

June 19-25 looks to be hot and humid, hitting a high of 89 of June 23 coupled with thunderstorms hanging around throughout the week. The humidity looks to stick around throughout the end of June and high temperatures once again will flirt with the 90s on June 28.
