Details to review before reserving
Bring rain gear, a hat, polarized sunglasses, sunscreen, shoes with non-marking soles, fishing boots and foul weather gear if you have them; dress in layers and pack any beverages you enjoy, a camera, snacks and lunch for a full-day trip, and any rods and reels you want to use.
Do not bring coolers larger than 60 quarts; the operator provides stowage for the fish and asks that personal fish coolers be left in the car.
Wear layers so you can adjust to temperature changes; non-marking-soled shoes and fishing boots are recommended, and foul weather gear is advised in case of rain.
