Fishing in the rain?

Is there any point in fishing in the rain? Are fish more likely to be closer to the surface due to curiosity, or deeper down to get away from the noise of the raindrops hitting the water?

Should you persevere or pack up and go home?

Definately Persevere! Had the best fishing during and just after a storm; Could have had something to do with all the flying ants being knocked into the water though...

Only time i don't fish in it is when the lightning is so bad that you can smell the sulphur in the air after it struck the earth.... then i tend to get some distance between my graphite rods and myself and normally duck for insulated cover, don't wanna get hit by it again, once was enough thank you very much.

Wasn't a direct hit, thankfully, casue can you imagine how screwed-up I woulad'vr been then ::S, struck the telephone pole in my mom's backyard and earthed in the house, my head was against the chest freezer and I got a jolt strong enough to elevate my entire body off the ground, my poor sister was standing with the kettle plugged into the waal in her hand, the kettle got stuck in the ceiling, was the weirdest feeling afterwards..... and really painful, but lived through it, just lost the plot a bit I hear people say......

LOL... Interesting... My neighbours house was hit a few weeks ago, it felt like a bomb exploded on us. My house alarm went bonkers and so did the power... I'd hate to be struck with my rod in hand...
