Many Fly fishers miss out on some of the most productive fishing around, by avoiding fishing on rainy days. So next time it starts raining DON"T go home. Hunker down pull your collar up and enjoy. Have Fun. Jack

"RAIN", has never stopped me, from fishing, either! Why? Aren't the fish ALREADY wet? They surely don't care and rain often washes down some GREAT terrestrial fishing opportunities!
(Not to mention, if the fishing's slow and you've brought a bar of biodegradable soap in your vest.........)
Jax,
It always amazes me how many fishermen run from the rain. I've had very heavily fished stretches of a major South Carolina trout stream all to myself because of the rain. Let it rain! Let it pour! Even, let it snow! 8T :)
rain turns on the trout.
have had some of my better days during a steady rainy.
Rain & snow is the best! Runs all the nimrods off the river.
Not only for trout, but other fish as well. Went today right after raining all day and caught quite a few bluegill on a black gnat and light cahill. They were extremely active!
However...lightning and flyfishing don't mix well at all.
In western pacific northwest, if you don't go fishing in the rain, you will not have many days to fish. The good part about it is it keeps the tourists in their hotels so the locals can get to the water.

I love the rain....it suits my mood.
