I see rain Tues and Thurs next week, otherwise overcast but nice with lows in 40's highs in 60's.

I assume water is cold so I'll stay close to shore.

Wonder if black flies will be out by the end of the week?

You should count on it. I'm guessing they will be more spiratic. And more twords the heat of the day. Keep your head nets very close.

Drat! I guess I'll bring the oatmeal, but not the raisins, so as to avoid confusion...

i know from many opener trips in the BW , it doesnt take long from them buggers to come out , bring the bug dope , everyone should be fine ;) i'm hoping water temps are still under that 54* mark.

keep your line wet, good things will happen
