Fishing Forum

Fished the MP today with the storm weather. Showed up around 3pm. Went right off river road there. Actually only 5 cars including mine in the lot. I was using streamers but got no bites so I switched to nymphing under an indicator. Caught a hefty healthy fighting whitey (no not describing myself.). At that point a cloud blew in mean looking and thunder growling in the distance and the wind picked up. I bailed some people stayed. By the time I got to car and got in, the sky opened up with hailing and lightning strikes all around. You have to be crazy to say out in a lightning storm!! That was at 5:15pm.

Ya, I break nets myself, usually sit on them.

Why did you bail? You're only holding a 9-foot graphite rod straight up in the air in a lightning storm while standing in the water. I see nothing wrong with that situation.
