It's a blast. Used to do the Dead River release in early May. First time I did it pounded beers the night before. Bad idea. Putting on a wetsuit with temperatures in the upper thirties doesn't start your day off right.
Anyone wishing to relive the glory of our winter so far You're invited to a webinar tonight at 7:00 p.m. Hurry space is limited!

Yeah most of the professional outlooks I've read are pretty close. Although no one mentioned the magnitude of the rain. Hobbyists shooting for the fences not so much...
