DNR has asked that we try to reschedule any Opens when the water temps on the Bay get into the high 80's.
With water temps on the Upper Bay at 85 degrees already and the 10 day Weather forecast for air temps in high 80's to low 90's, the water temps are sure to rise, pushing towards 90 degrees.
Rather than risk having a lot of dead bass at weigh in or delayed mortality in the river in the days following, we will defer and reschedule this Open into the Fall, to be held on Saturday, October 12th.
As much as we would like to hold this Open now, care of our resources is also a major concern.
Thanks for understanding.
