NY State opening weekend, rain forecast.

[chromedog]

Opening weekend is finally upon us and it looks like a rain soaked Saturday morning.  I honestly have never really fished in the rain but we have a small tourney in the a.m. from 6am to 10am.  Unless there is lightning I think I will brave it.  Is there anything I should take into account or adjust as far as tackle goes?  Does rain make things better/worse?  Do you change tactics in the rain?  

Thanks

I don't know specifically where in WNY you are fishing, however in the Rochester area we are expecting T-Storms  from pre-dawn saturday all the way till late in the afternoon,  Sunday is supposed to be higher winds and alot rain through the day.
