    Dressing appropriately for the weather!

    We recommend wearing quick dry clothing , including a wind-proof jacket while the boat is driving. Wear fleece or polyester layers during colder months, and bring a good rain jacket no matter the forecast.

    Hat, Sunscreen, Lip Balm, Camera, Insect Repellent, and a change of clothes, socks just in case.

    Camouflage: Try to avoid brightly colored shirts and hats that may spook the fish. Earth tones are better.
