With just a week togo till opening day the weather looks set fair up till then and for  some time after if the forecasters are right.  If so conditions for some should have settled well by then as the river drops away., especially on the upper and middle beats and we may get some idea of how many fish are around.  Lets hope they make it to the upper middle river to give everyone a fair chance this season.   

As for getting there to fish -well that's another problem together with all the other ones they have given us.
