Hey Darrin the fish don't mind the rain, only people do. There aint no bad fishing days, only bad fishing clothing. Which brings me on to which clothing for the rain. I do a lot of flyfishing in the West of Ireland and to be honest, the weather here is very wet. I was wondering what waterproof threequarter length jacket would you reccommend.? I know its not always easy to give others advice but, i need a real good waterproof jacket. I don't mind getting wet, but i'd rather be dry, cause like I say "when your in out of the rain, theres always someone out in the weather fishin. Hey regards SDD.

The fish don't care about the rain... they're wet anyway!

Fish go under bridges when it rains to stay dry, right?
