Impkenai Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 What is the weather like now? The weather forecasts show thundery showers almost everyday for the next few weeks. Rains don't fit into my fishing schedule. Any 'live' updates would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daoyai Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Chance of showers daily, mostly warm and overcast, cloudy with chance of sun, then hot and humid. So it is chancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

market trader Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Weather forecasts having been showing possibility of thunders showers or storms for the past 2 months or more. The reality is there has been very little rain in the past 2 months. Days when it does rain it has been for only 15 minutes or so. However August and September are close and that probably means a lot of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost 100% of the Mae Taeng is diverted to the canal to allow rice planting to start. Last year there was much more water flowing. A few days of hard rain could change all that quickly though.

jackr Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Rains don't fit into my fishing schedule Probably not a good idea to visit in the 'wet' season then, eh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impkenai Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 Seems like the perfect weather to wet a line. So no need to bring a boat yet! I'll pack a poncho just in case. Thks for the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexilis Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I heard it once said that there is a fine line between "fishing" and just standing on the riverbank looking like an idiot. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_Dog Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Right now it's raining. We've had light drizzle all day but hard to call it real rain. The OP better bring a parka.... It's down to 21 C here already tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC last year's flooding woes started with Nock Ten That was almost exactly a year ago........... If anyone has seen what happened in China last few days it might be time to prepare the sandbags!

BillyBobThai Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 There is a current storm due to come in over N Viet Nam. We could get some rain from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realthaideal Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Hey Imp, what species are you going after ? Some like the giant snakehead and jungle perch can be pretty active when there's rain on and off. It puts alot of bait in the water and on top, so they're excited. Pretty sure it works the same with some of the various catfish species around too. I might make you wet, but gray n some drizzle could really improve the overall fishing.

Except, of course, that the whole of last year was already very wet up until that point, including a very out of the ordinary "hot ^& dry season that wasn't" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maejo Man Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 There has been some heavy rain upcountry, and coupled with the steady rain/drizzel of the last few days, the river will be up some. Sadly the "hyro" site is down at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no particular favorite specie, just like any fish at the end of my line. LOL. This time I'm planning for Pla Buek and Pla Sawai. Need some exercise after a year's layoff. VBG. The sun and the rain don't bother me ... I take it as it comes. It's the lightning that can pose a threat to carbon fishing rods, and also being the highest point in the middle of a body of water. I'm not suicidal ... yet! VBG I find most fishes feed after the rains had stopped, especially when it rains on a hot day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naboo Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I think this thread replacing the rain thread is a good indication of how little rain we've had this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
