It probably won't rain anyways.

I agree with everyone.

If you don't mind a highjack, I will be fishing in the snow in Utah!!

Fortunately ice fishing rods are small and short. I am hoping for an inclement weather so the lakes get frozen. So far they have not.

The rain you can dress for, but if the day you picked is Tuesday. Do something else! The magic seaweed forecast, is wind from over 17 mph to 30 mph and surf of 3'-4'. There's no way you should go out in the ocean in a kayak with that kind of wind unless you have a death wish.

Fish are always wet so unless the storm stirs up the bottom you can go in whatever you deem safe conditions ^^^Probably not safe Tuesday lol.

Biggest difference I've noted with fishing rain and on both sides of storms is paying attention to if its a low or high pressure front. It used to kill the bass and pike fishing in MI when a low pressure front moved in. Great bite right before and good bite when high pressure front came or held the area. Does this hold true here in SD?
