Fishing in the rain

[cardo]

Do fish go off the bite at all with all this rain or does it have the opposite effect

[filthmonger]

Ive heard that all the crap that washes into the sytems raises c02 levels which make the fish inactive.

[stevefish]

you got it right in your title.

fishing in the first of the rain is good,

fishing in run-off ie now, shall we say,presents many challenges.

[abecedarian]

It all depends on what you're chasing and where in the system you're fishing...

Have had some good catches in murky water after a fair bit of rain. And that's more than 50 years of fishing in Port Hacking.

At this time of year, the fish are slowing down as the water temperature is cooling, and heavy doses of rain will drop the water temperature up river much faster than the ocean.
