old timers say cloudy days = better fishing, really?
but is it worth getting soaked in pouring rain and fighting strong winds? genuinely curious if anyone actually stays out there when the weather gets nasty or if it's just fishing folklore...

Has everything to do with pressure, nothing to do with cloud cover.

Overcast days are pretty good fresh water fishing. My best day was just before a hurricane reached. ( best ever )

I just go fishing. A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work. Win Win

best luck I've ever has is always on rainy days - bugs don't come out so fish are usually very hungry 👍

When rain is possible, specifically the barometric pressure dropping, is well known for helping with productivity, at least with black bass.

Low pressure, big fish! High pressure, no fish!
