Here's my take on the effect that rain has on fishing. Probably very little.. However, the associated winds and rough water can definitely adversely affect the bite. If the water rolls and turns green, and the temp drops a couple degrees overnight, I know I will have a tough day. Never a good enough reason to not go, for me, but my tactics change to slower presentation, looking for pockets of cleaner water and dropping on any sonar anomalies rather than waiting for the perfect meter mark. Bottom line is get out there whenever you safely can and know that most of your noteworthy fish will come on not so perfect days.
