It seems like the trout will turn on just before those huge black clouds roll in on summer afternoons. It always happens at the last minute before it is time to hall *** back to the ramp.

I enjoy bass fishing during light showers and in between showers, especially may and summer, makes a few fish move up shallower

Some of my best trips have been under a bridge during a shower for sacs. They seem to turn on during the rain and quit as soon as the rain does.

Anytime there is dark skies, the fish usually bite a little better. It doesn't matter if it's 100° or 20°.

Never made it as planned this weekend so made a trip today, caught a mixed bag of sacs, goggle eye and bream. 33 total from about 9-2. Wind was bad but got into cuts and caught on crickets. Not bad for first trip of the year.

I find bream are always biting good in the rain if you get under some cover so the water isn't too disturbed like under bridges or thick tree tops.

i suspect they know that lots of bugs will be falling from the trees in the rain and they stack up under them for the feast

I find the fishing to be decent in the rain, missed my biggest fish right after a storm last year on toledo, because the reel came off of my rod because of the rain looseing it up, i find the rain makes the fish go shallow which for most fishermen makes it better fishing
