It depends what your in to. If you have summer-run fishing closer, personally, I'd somewhere else. After midnight of the opener, there are already guys staking out holes. Last year there were over 70 boats on opening day.

It's the usual story on any opener-first boat down picks up the easy ones, next couple boats and bankies get the strays missed by the first boat then the other 67 boats and 286 bankies are out flailing away at empty water.

The opener on this river seems to get worse each year.
