I took a visit to Picketts Jct last week. There was still a lot of snow on the ground. CDFW will not be planting for the opener. Please use extreme caution on the banks of any river this year. The snow has just melted and the ground is saturated. not to mention the water temperature is in the high 30 degree range. Not the best of openers, but I tell it like I see it. I would rather tell you now and see you in a month or so. Then you read about a tragedy on the river.
