Does rain help the largemouth bite?
Rain can reduce light, add flow and change visibility or temperature. Those changes can help a shallow feeding pattern, or disrupt it if water becomes abruptly cold, very muddy or difficult to hold in. Compare the affected area with nearby stable water. Rain or falling pressure alone does not promise aggressive feeding.
