    I’m not a science, but I’ve ingested enough science you’d believe me if I said I thought I could talk to fish.

    I didn’t, because I couldn’t find any, but I’m going to go ahead and speak for them anyway and say this is absolutely true.

    I think they do because they know there won’t be as many insects and the water will be colder for a few days.

      Changes in the water pressure and current cause organic matter to rise. It feeds the prey, and provides cover so fish feel safer to eat the prey. The change in temperature promotes activity because there’s more O2 in cold water.

    The rain makes it look like the air domain is trying to join the water world, the fish are just offering a hand for the transition, they’re trying to help, and there you are, taking advantage of their kindness. Ripping the fish from home, life and family, to suffocate in terror, or hope for a quick strike to the neck and the eternal quiet beyond.

      We are the aliens abducting them for probing. I wonder how many fish try to warn their friends and family, just to be shunned as a drunkard crackpot instead.

        Well, if they stopped drinking… Like ever… It’d be easier to believe them

    Its because the rain stimulates life outside the water, there’s more food everywhere.

    The moist soil / sand means grubs & worms come to the surface. Insects are on the move looking for food / evading rain. Birds are snapping them up and discarding bits and pooping. Rain is washing all this stuff from river banks into the water.

    Et cetera.

    Same thing happens on the rising tide. High tide is the climax. Then everyone takes a break on the ebbing tide.
