I've never had much luck catching while it's actually raining.
The last 2 sessions iv'e done in the rain - I have had a fish about 15 minutes after the rain has stopped each time.
This has got me thinking that maybe the rain hitting the water puts them off a little bit as it might suppress their ability to sense danger (sound, vibrations in the water etc.) and then when the rain has stopped they feel more confident to come out of cover and feed.
Maybe I'm thinking into it too much and you're all going to tell that ytou've had your best sessions in the rain
Has anyone had any luck catching barbel in the rain?
