Not if you want to get struck by lightning - though it would cook the fish quicker..

Depends what you are fishing for. Trout fishing is at it's absolute best before, after, and especially during a storm or heavy rainfall. Much of this can probably be contributed to the drop in barometric pressure. It also agitates the water, helping to conceal the fishermen. The clouds also give a more favorable backdrop to hide against, and eliminate shadows on the water. The rain also washes food and forage into the water and swells tributaries, stirring up the bottom and washing more food into the main channel. This gets the fish in a feeding frenzy of sorts, and is the absolute best time to trout fish. Hands down. Ive also had luck with other species, such as walleyes, but reserve fishing in the rain for trout. I get upset when the whether is too 'nice' for trout fishing, but whatta ya gonna do.

It really depends.
If fishing freshwater for rainbows, then 1-2 hours before or after a storm with the right bait will work.
But wait, I hear you say, what's the right bait?
It depends on the lake or river you're fishing. Nightcrawlers ALWAYS work, but you may need a bit of Powerbait or some extra scent to entice the trout to bite.
If the lake is murky, then use a short leader, if it's clear use a longer leader.
Around where I live, right now, one of the hottest baits is a salmon egg at the top of a baitholder with a Powerworm or nightcrawler threaded through the baitholder so it's hanging straight down.

i dont know about half an hour, how are you going to say this storm is half an hour away. Do you mean the outer region of the storm or the full blown storm. I just go a few hours or the day before rain is due. After, in saltwater at least, the water will likely be dirty and have a lot of debrees to get snagged on.

a half an hour before a storm yes because it is instinct for animals to eat before a storm. After no because the rain washes worms and grubs into the water and the fish probably won't bite on your bait because of the abundance of food in the water. just be sure to watch out for lightning

When I was I kid I used to do a lot of fishing. My mom wouldn't let me go out when a storm was comin in but after the storm passed i would get right out there. And actually we did use to catch a lot of fish after the storms. We would fish for bass and what usually worked was a dark plastic worm or lizard. We would usually double our usual catch after a storm, but I cant say anything for before a storm

The few days following a storm provides good surf fishing. A storm changes the sand structure on the beach creating new sand bars for baitfish and shellfish. This attracts the predators.

I will fish in any weather except lightening as this can be dangerous with a fishing rod as this is one of the best conductors around since its made of graphite

After a storm tends to get them feeding, it must oxygenate the water or something.

After. It knocks all kinds of bugs,ect. into the water. The fish know that this is feeding time.
