I like to go fishing before a rain. I have toughed it out and sat there and fished in the rain before. I still will on occasion. But, I hardly ever leave the house if it is raining. After a rain I like to give things time to settle down a bit. Specially if it was a toad choker and my fishing hole muddy's up.
I wished I had some good advice to get your Dad interested in fishing with you. My son is a bit older than you. But, I do remember when he was a little younger than you are now, we grew apart. I was concerned about getting my carreer lined out. He was concerned about running the streets with his buddies. When I did take time, he didn't have the time. Stay true to your passion of fishing. But, give your Dad a lesson in life and do something he may be interested in too occasionaly. Ask him if you can go golfing or what ever his interest is.
