I have never found them to move in the rain. Although, I have seen them move shortly after it stops or slows down to almost nothing. So if the forecast looks like the rain could stop before dark or if it is on/off rain I would sit. The first year I ever bear hunted I had planned to hunt on a Friday evening. Well it poured rain all day. I had taking time off of work and I was going to hunt. Soo as I was baiting listening to the thunder and watching the lighting I almost changed my mind. Low and behold the rain stopped about 45 minutes before dark and the bear came wondering in about 20 minutes later. I ended up missing, but that is not what we are talking about anyway.

Gusse ive never had them move in rain either. This time of year id say no but early season they be more prone to cause of the cooler temps that come with the rain.

I shot one 20 m8nutes after a 30 minute down pour 2 years ago. Also have them on cameras in rain and dripping wet before. I think wind is very bad though.

      Went in to Lucky 7 to get some crappie minnows today. All they had were crappie minnows and fatheads. She said to call in advance for the opener, couldn't say for sure if they'd have rainbows, shiners, etc for opener!

      Been out couple times this last week. Between the rain and wind there really was only one day this past week where it was actually warm out fishing.  Water temps are low mid 50s yet, not much change from last week.  Fish are still holding out off the first break on some area lakes and right up in the boat channels and back bays of others.   Been keeping it pretty simple as far as tackle used. Having the best luck with the lil hustler tubes under a small float or throwing the Bobby Garland baby shads with a 1/32 jig head.  The Bobby's have definitely been my big fish catcher this spring.

      The water looks low but appears to be on the rise. We will be there  the week after opener. I have been going since 1981 and enjoying the experience. We love the variety of fish we catch and release each year. Ice went out a bit earlier than in years past. Water may be warmer and plan to target some crappies. We fish predominately in Sand Point as we camp. Good luck all and tight lines. We may consider the hike to Lake Lucille which we did 2 years ago.

      On an off light precipitation today. Hoping the weather this weekend will be nice so I can get out and crappie fish and check the weather. My yard has standing water and the driveway is a mess. Lot of lakes are near standard water levels which is good. Heard they are done stripping eggs on cut foot. Shaping up to be a good opener. Last year fished open water 60+ days and 28 different lakes. Hopefully bump both those numbers up this year
