Fishing

This might sound strange, but there are actually some advantages to fishing in the rain. If you want a higher chance of catching fish, going out during light rain or right before and after a storm is your best bet. What happens is that the rain will create a low barometric pressure that can send the fish into a feeding frenzy, therefore, making them more active. It is highly recommended that you use bright colors to create contrast in the mucky water to help fish find your bait.

If you do plan on fishing during rainy weather, make sure to wear rain gear. Quality gear can make the greatest difference in whether you are comfortable or miserable. The more comfortable you are, the longer you can stay out in the rain and fish.
