If you're talking about hanging out until after Aug. 1st for the opener, I'd say it's probably not worth staying. Chances are the river will be dead low and most of the fish will be in the tidewater section and under pressure from a few dozen snaggers. If you get a solid blast of rain in the week before, then it could be a different story.
