While camping in the rain may not be desired, rain often makes for better fishing in North Carolina. Insects knocked into the lakes and streams by wind and rain attract insect-eating fish, such as bluegills, luring them closer to the water’s surface. Raindrops also break up the surface water, making it harder for fish to see the fishermen.
