    River condition

    Have a club tourney this weekend--I assume the river is not going to look too good? I can't find any info online about what it is like now and what it will be on Saturday? What do you think?

    Could be ok by the weekend if you're fishing the southern part of the river. Not optimistic about anything north of Mattawoman unless you're way back in a creek.

    Flash flood warnings out thru Wed evening here all the way up to Harpers Ferry. More mud and debris coming down.

    I'd postpone, not worth the risk.

    That is what I am thinking--have already seen a couple tournaments postponed. More rain coming

    I saw some video clips of folks on the water, fields of debris again. Under TX mindset, could be bad for boaters.

    Crap, here we go again for another two weeks or so. Rain forecast through next Wed at least.

    Just curious if there was more rain up there and what the conditions may be. Trying to help tournament directors make a decision on this weekend (Saturday) Is there any site we can go to with pictures of current conditions? I know there are sites that show the flow, the temp etc. Any help for us Richmond boys would be appreciated
