Before You Go

Confirm fishing rules with the operator
Regulations and catch limits vary; ask about permits and whether catch-and-release is preferred to protect local stocks.
Bring layered clothing and non-slip shoes
Even summer days can be chilly on open water—windproof outer layers and grippy footwear keep you comfortable and safe.
Plan for disposal and fires
If you barbecue or shore-camp, use established fire spots or portable stoves and pack out all waste to protect shoreline vegetation.
