What to Bring on a River Trip
One of the most frequently asked questions is, "What should I bring?" or another variant, "What should I wear?"
In General
You should come prepared for weather changes. It might be a beautiful sunny day when we leave the shop, but by the time you get to the launch site, clouds are starting to gather, the wind is picking up and it's getting colder.
Dress comfortably but bring along your rain gear, an extra layer of warm clothing, a cap or hat, sunglasses, insect repellent and sunscreen. If you are prone to cold hands, throw a pair of gloves into your gear bag and maybe an extra pair of socks. You may not need it, but it is much better to have it and not need it than to be out on the river, miles from civilization and not have appropriate clothing with you.
Don't forget the camera so you can take pictures of your fishing experience. |
