Suggestions from the experts.

Expected Conditions Adaptive Techniques
Looks like the water will be too high. Make sure you have a full supply of heavy slip-floats, big weights and big hooks. High water conditions translate into fast moving water.  You need to get your bait to the fish so load up on weights. 
Looks like the water will be too dirty. If you still plan on heading out, your odds of catching fish will be dramatically diminshed.  However, to improve those odds, load up with bright colored baits and lures.  With dirty water, you can get away with heavier line as well.
Looks like the water will be too cold. Cold water typically means a reduction in fish activity.  Find the slower moving pools and entice fish eating through using live bait or baits with natural sent.
Looks like the water will be really clear. Clear water improves the ability for a fish to see your bait - and your line! Move your color strategy to nature colors, live and natural baits.  But don't forget to stock up on fluoro carbon leader and low-diameter line to swing the odds in your direction.
