Fishing in Rainy Conditions on Eastern Shore Millponds
Rainy days can be a blessing in disguise for anglers, as fish are often more active in rainy conditions. The Eastern Shore millponds are a great place to try your luck, with thick clouds and low light extending the topwater bite. Try using topwater lures in light rain or subsurface lures in heavy downpours, and don't forget to look for currents and breaks created by runoff.
