The Experience
Before You Go
Book morning slots
Fish are often more active in cooler morning hours—schedule the earliest pickup available for better chances and fewer crowds.
Wear non-slip footwear
Riverbanks can be uneven and slippery; closed-toe, grippy shoes or wading boots improve stability when fishing from shore.
Hydrate and snack
Bring a reusable water bottle and light snacks; you'll be standing and focused for several hours even if the guide provides lunch later.
Know local catch rules
Ask the guide about species regulations and catch-and-release preferences to ensure legal and sustainable angling.
