Smart to over prepare for changing weather conditions, thereโ€™s nowhere to hide and on the water it can be cold and rough. Thereโ€™s no bathroom so just know and adjust.

It depends on rain and how many fish enter river during the run. Also if they start to let netting of drag boats it decreases your chance of a big fish. August to first week of September
