Hi Saysi,

Welcome to the Forum :)

Some interesting questions. I am sure that someone will have the answers.

Since you caught some trout when ice fishing, then I would think remaining ice would not be an issue. Some fish are spooked off by rain but I have no idea if trout are. Most fish are opportunistic eaters. They might not go "hunting" for food when it is raining, but if food comes to them, they will grab it.

We are just about to come into winter here. So I take it that those are spring rains for you. Maybe someone with local knowledge can give some tips and tricks for catching trout during spring rains.

due to the weather the fish are inactive and don't bother with the lures that I've been using and if there is a change in the weather for the better would that get them to start feeding and go after my lures.

Probably.

Have you tried using different lures? Maybe they are feeding on the bottom, so try using bait.

tried different lures and saw a northern pike follow the hook without biting, it's still raining here and the ice is slowly melting so i'll wait till it passes before going back out
