Tip 28 - Fishing in Stormy Weather

Fly fishing in stormy weather can come with its own particular challenges. A storm occurs when winds come up suddenly, without warning, & without any indication of how long the storm will last. One large concern during a storm is thunderstorms.

If you’re out fishing as well as a storm occurs there's some precautions that you’ll need to take. You’ll need to head for higher ground immediately if you’re near the water & there's thunderstorms in the area. If there is no sign of thunder or lightning you may select to ride out the storm & continue fishing. In this case you’ll must adjust your fishing method to reflect the alter in weather.

When you’re fishing along the shore as well as a storm comes up you can take advantage of the wind. You’ll often be able to catch fish at shallow levels in windy weather conditions however these will probably be little bass. You’ll find bigger fish in at deeper depths during storms but these sized fish will be harder to catch & you ought to focus your efforts on the smaller ones.
